There’s still time to move to Single Touch Payroll (STP)

It’s not too late to join the other 550,000 employers who are reporting through Single Touch Payroll (STP), but time is running out.

       

 

If you aren’t reporting through STP, you can start by:

  • finding a software solution that’s right for you.
  • asking for a concession. This could be reporting quarterly at the same time as your activity statement. Eligibility will depend on your circumstances.
  • asking for more time if you're not ready.

We understand that it takes time to transition to STP, but there are a range of options to assist your transition. Watch our video of a small business owner's experience transitioning to STP.

If you have been affected by a natural disaster, there is additional support available and we will help you sort out your tax affairs later.

Remember, registered tax agents can help you with your tax.
