Under Single Touch Payroll Phase 2, the Australian Government will require all employers to report additional information to the ATO through STP on or before each payday.

This is available to implement now with your payroll software provider. It is important to know that these are NEW reporting obligations which require manual changes to be made within your payroll set up. 

To assist you with your implementation, see below helpful guides and resources to reference. We strongly recommend you use this information to make your manual upgrades if you have not done so already.
