Single Touch Payroll

Single Touch Payroll (STP) came into effect on 1 July 2019 for all employers (with some extensions allowed).


Salaries and wages, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding and superannuation information is reported to the ATO from payroll software each time staff are paid. 

Employers will no longer send out payment summaries, instead they will lodge a Finalisation Declaration at the end of the financial year. After this is completed, the payroll information will be sent to the employee, by the ATO via MyGov. 


From 2020 the ATO will pre-fill activity statement labels W1 and W2 for small to medium withholders with the information reported through STP. If employers currently lodge an activity statement, they will continue to do so. 


The ATO have produced this factsheet for employees.
