What is The Significance of the Single Touch Payroll System?

The Single Touch Payroll system is an Australian Government initiative introduced to improve payroll reporting and boost transparency. It demands that employers submit employee salaries, wages, PAYG withholding, and superannuation directly to the ATO after each pay run. No more waiting until the end of the financial year, as the payroll data will be sent automatically every time you process a payment. 

This is a streamlined real-time reporting system that improves accuracy and reduces errors, eliminates unnecessary paperwork, and provides employees with instant access to their income statements. When you seek our expert assistance with i3Group, we ensure that your business meets any obligations seamlessly without the stress of navigating the system alone, making it compliant with ATO regulations always.

    • Our STP setup process includes:
    • Reviewing your existing payroll structure
    • Confirming STP-ready software compatibility
    • Registering and linking your payroll system with the ATO
    • Testing payroll submissions for accuracy
    • Providing staff training before going live

    With i3Group managing the process, setting up the single touch payroll system becomes smooth, fast, and fully compliant from day one.

  • What Happens If You Don’t Comply With Single Touch Payroll?

    Non-compliance with Single Touch Payroll obligations can result in:

    • ATO penalties and fines
    • Delayed employee income statements
    • PAYG reporting discrepancies
    • Increased audit risk

    By outsourcing your payroll single touch reporting to i3Group, you eliminate these risks and ensure your payroll operations remain fully compliant.

  • How often do I need to send STP reports?

    Every time you run payroll! STP sends all the particulars to the ATO with each pay run, so everything stays up to date in real time with no extra effort.

  • Do small businesses with only one or two employees need Single Touch Payroll?

    Yes. Even businesses with one employee must comply. i3Group provides simple, cost-effective solutions related to payroll issues.

  • Can STP work with my existing payroll software?

    Yes. If your system is STP-ready, we will help you connect it. If not, we recommend easy options to upgrade or switch without disrupting your workflow.

  • Is Single Touch Payroll hard to set up?

    Not at all, especially when i3Group does it for you! We will check your current payroll setup, handle the ATO registration, and ensure an easy and hassle-free setup.

  • Do I still need to submit a BAS if I’m using payroll single touch?

    Yes, payroll single touch reporting does not substitute your duty to lodge your Business Activity Statement (BAS). Earnings reporting using STP is a way of reporting earnings that allows you to have accurate tax figures but does not do your BAS.
