Frequently asked questions about payroll for designers and creative agencies
How does โTry for freeโ work?
โTry for freeโ allows you to discover if Payroller is the right software for you and your business before you commit to our platform. โTry for freeโ is cost and commitment-free and we do not require any credit card details to sign up. So give Payroller a try, it only takes a few minutes to get set up.
While the Payroller mobile app is completely free โ fees will apply to use the Payroller web app, Xero integration, and to make super contributions through our integrated super clearing house (Beam).
What are STP requirements for design and creative services businesses?
STP is a government initiative requiring most employers to report their employees’ salary and super information electronically to the ATO each time they pay their employees. STP has been mandatory for all businesses since July 1st, 2019.
Payroll software enables you to report STP as you run payroll, making it essential to all kinds of businesses. Payroller stays up to date with tax requirements, so you can rest easy regarding compliance.
Can I do my own payroll for my design or creative services business?
You can, especially for a small team with a simple pay structure. However, payroll software can save significant time, minimise errors, and ensure compliance with tax regulations. This becomes even more important as your business grows.
How do I handle payroll for freelance contracts for designers and creative professionals?
For freelancers on your payroll, you may need to issue contractor payment summaries depending on your location and the nature of the work. Consulting a tax professional is recommended for navigating freelance payments.
How does Payroller work?
Payroller is an STP-enabled software that automatically submits payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) โ through a secure cloud network โ whenever you perform a payrun. Payroller helps you to track, manage and record your payroll while safely sharing that information (and staying compliant) with the ATO.
As a truly one-stop payroll solution, you can manage staff roster, invite your accountant, bookkeeper or BAS agent and even make Super contribution (Beam) on Payroller.
Can I share my Payroller account?
