If you’re using desktop payroll software, you’ll need to find a service that can upload your payroll reports, convert them into the ATO’s required format, and submit them on your behalf.

Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a reporting system introduced by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) that requires employers to submit payroll information directly to the ATO in real-time. This system streamlines the reporting of salaries, wages, tax withholdings, and superannuation contributions, eliminating the need for traditional end-of-year payment summaries.
With STP, employers report payroll details each time they process a pay run, which is then accessible to employees via their myGov accounts. This method enhances transparency, reduces administrative burdens, and helps ensure compliance with tax and superannuation obligations.
Single Touch Payroll operates by integrating with your payroll system to automatically transmit payroll information to the ATO with each pay run. When you process payroll, your system generates a report that includes details such as employee earnings, tax withheld, and superannuation contributions. This data is then sent electronically to the ATO through the STP system.
The ATO uses this information to update employees’ tax records in real-time, ensuring that their records are accurate and up-to-date. This system simplifies the payroll process, reduces paperwork, and enhances compliance by providing real-time reporting.
All employers with 20 or more employees are required to use Single Touch Payroll. Since 1 July 2019, this obligation has also extended to smaller businesses with fewer than 20 employees. If you are an employer in Australia, you must comply with STP requirements regardless of the size of your business.
The requirement includes businesses of all types and industries, and it applies to various employment arrangements, including full-time, part-time, casual employees, and contractors who are paid through your payroll system. Compliance with STP helps ensure accurate and timely reporting to the ATO.
Yes, Single Touch Payroll is compulsory for all Australian employers. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) & STP mandates an improvement in the efficiency of payroll reporting and enhanced compliance. Employers with 20 or more employees were required to adopt STP from 1 July 2018, while the requirement extended to smaller employers with fewer than 20 employees from 1 July 2019.
Failure to comply with STP requirements can result in penalties from the ATO. Employers must integrate STP into their payroll processes to avoid potential fines and ensure smooth reporting and compliance.
Single Touch Payroll reporting is the process of submitting payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in real time. This reporting includes details such as employee wages, salaries, tax withheld, and superannuation contributions.
With STP, employers report this data each time they process payroll, rather than at the end of the financial year. The STP system facilitates accurate and timely reporting by electronically sending payroll data directly to the ATO. This eliminates the need for annual payment summaries and ensures that employees’ tax and superannuation records are always current and accessible through their myGov accounts.
