Learn how to finalise Single Touch Payroll (STP) in the Payroller mobile app with our simple guide below.
Please note that this feature is currently available from Payroller mobile app version on Android 0.4.2.0 and IOS 3.0.14 onwards.
At the end of each financial year, you will need to notify the ATO that you have finished reporting STP for your employees for the financial year. This is called a finalization declaration.
In this guide, we will go over how to finalise STP on the Payroller mobile app
If you have already created your final pay run for the financial year and have forgotten to finalise STP you will need to edit the pay run by going into payslips > select the pay run > Select edit. Please note that the final pay run for the financial year is the pay run with the payment date falling on or before the 30th of June of that year.
To finalise STP select โRun Payrollโ
Check and edit as required your Pay Run Period, Pay Period Ending Date and Payment Date and select โNextโ
Please note that you do not need to indicate STP finalisation for each pay run, but you will need to indicate the finalisation on the last pay run for the financial year. This means that the finalisation option needs to be added only on the pay run whose payment date falls before the 30th June of each financial year.
If you wish to see a YTD report of the finalisation figures that will be submitted to the ATO you will need to log in to the payroller website and select ‘Finalise STP’, select the date and view your employees figures this way.
Select the + button
Select โFinaliseโ
Make sure to tick finalise STP
Once you have finished entering those details select the arrows on the right or swipe left on the screen for your employees.
Make sure to repeat this process if you are finalising STP for all your employees.
Please note that if you forgot to finalise STP or have made an error when submitting your pay runs, thats ok! Simply go back and edit the pay run and finalise and resubmit. For a guide on how to edit your pay run please click here.
After reviewing the summary select the arrows on the right or swipe left on the screen.
Please note that this summary page will only show you the summary for that specific pay run and not the finalisation summary. If you would like to see the final YTD figures for the financial year you will need to view them on the individual payslips. Subsequently, you can log into the payroller website and select “Finalise STP”, select the financial year and review the figures this way as well.
Press the button to submit.
