Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a simple way to report your employees’ payroll information to the ATO and keep your business compliant. If you’ve subscribed to MYOB AccountRight, you can start STP reporting now — there are no additional charges.
Once you're set up, you'll send your employees' salary, tax and super info to the ATO after each pay. At the end of the financial year you'll do a quick finalisation to let the ATO know you've finished paying your employees for the year. Your employees can access their payroll information through the ATO's online service, MyGov, which also simplifies their annual tax returns.
