The features described in this topic are available in AccountRight 2018.2 and later.

Before reporting payroll and super information to the ATO, you need to check that your company information and employee details meet ATO requirements, and assign an ATO category to all your payroll categories. To do this, you can check your details in AccountRight and view a list of errors that need fixing.

Step 1 - Check your payroll details

  1. Go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Reporting.
  2. Click Check Payroll Details. The Check Payroll Details window appears listing the results.
    From this list you'll see what items you need to fix before you can connect to the ATO and start reporting using Single Touch Payroll.

Step 2 - Fix errors, if you have any

Use the information in the results list as a guide to what you need to fix.

If you don't need to report a payroll category, select the Not reportable category.
