Learn about Single Touch Payroll
What is Single Touch Payroll?
​
Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a reporting change which affects employers across Australia. It is a mandatory requirement for employers with 20 or more employees to report through Single Touch Payroll from 1 July 2018.
​
The Government will be expanding this to employers with 19 or less employees from 1 July 2019.
​
It simply means that when you complete a payroll event, the tax and super information for each employee is sent to the ATO from your payroll solution at the same time as you pay your employees.
​
STP provides a more streamlined way of reporting to the ATO.
Aligning payments to occur at the same time that STP reporting occurs can provide employers with significant benefits by reducing reconciliation issues.
STP does not need to change your payroll cycle or when payments of pay-as-you-go withholding or superannuation contributions occur. You can continue to pay your employees weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You may have different pay cycles for different employees.

Facts
Single Touch Payroll is a government initiative to streamline business reporting obligations. When an employer pays their employees, the payroll information is sent to the ATO from their payroll solution.
Single Touch Payroll mandates that all employers with 20 or more employees send their payroll information to the ATO with every pay event.
Simple STP Overview
Dates
1 April 2018 : Employers complete employee count. Those with 20 or more employees at this date qualify for 1 July 2018 start date for STP
1 July 2018 : Employers with 20 or more employees must start STP reporting (optional for other employees)
1 July 2019 : Employers with 19 or fewer employees must start STP reporting
​
A phased ATO release schedule means that the complete ATO STP payroll reporting solution (i.e. payroll event, update event and cancellation) will be made available at various stages between July and December 2017.
Compliance
Any solution that interacts with the ATO will also be required to complete a technical assurance process (solution certification & conformance) prior to roll-out to employers.
