Single Touch Payroll – for employers

The ATO has released a guidance note on the payroll reporting requirements that will come into effect for employers with 20 or less employers from 1 July 2019.

Understanding the rules

Single Touch Payroll is the next step in streamlining your payroll reporting. It will change the way you report your employees’ payroll information to the ATO. It starts from 1 July 2018 for employers with 20 or more employees.

You will report payments such as salaries and wages, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding and super information to the ATO when you pay your employees.

You can do this through your existing payroll software (such as accounting software) as long as it is updated to offer Single Touch Payroll reporting. Payroll software providers are updating their products now. Talk to your provider to find out how and when your product will be ready.

When do I need to get ready?

  • If you have 20 or more employees you will need to report through Single Touch Payroll from 1 July 2018. The first year will be a transition period and penalties may not apply.
  • If you have 19 or less employees, you will need to report through Single Touch Payroll from 1 July 2019, subject to legislation being passed in parliament.

Here at AJ Accounting Solutions Pty Ltd, we are more than happy to help you with your Payroll and meeting you Tax requirements. For more information, please feel free to contact us on [email protected].
