Learn how to finalise Single Touch Payroll (STP) in the Payroller mobile app with our simple guide below.  Read our FAQ on finalising STP for end of financial year in Payroller.

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. 

What’s the final pay run for the financial year

The final pay run for the financial year is the pay run with the payment date that falls on or before the 30th of June of that year.

Step 1:  Select ‘Run Payroll’

Step 2: Check & edit pay run details

Review and edit your Pay Run Period, Pay Period Ending Date and Payment Date. When you’re ready, select ‘Next’.

Please note that you don’t need to indicate STP finalisation for each pay run.  However, you must finalise STP for your last pay run for the financial year. This means that the finalisation option needs to be added only to the last pay run with a payment date that falls before the 30th June of each financial year.

You can see a YTD report of the finalisation figures that will be submitted to the ATO, in Payroller. Log in to the Payroller website.   Select ‘Finalise STP’, select the date and view your employees figures this way.

Step 3: Select the + button

Step 4: Select ‘Finalise’

Step 5: Tick ‘Finalise STP’

Step 6: Select arrows to finalise STP for employees

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.

Step 7: Review the summary & select the arrows

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.

Step 8: Press ‘submit’

Press the button to submit.

Step 9: Select the STP Declaration to submit STP to the ATO

Select ‘Submit’ to submit STP to the ATO.

Your employee pay runs have now been finalised.
