16.01.2022 Single Touch Payroll, or STP, is the new way of reporting payroll information to the ATO. Businesses used to report this information to the ATO once a year but it now done after each pay run is processed.

Have you made the switch yet? If not, you need to get STP compliant as soon as p...ossible. Its not as scary or complicated as it sounds and the best part is we are here to help. Check out this article for some information about STP and what it means to your business. https://www.xero.com//small-/payroll/single-touch-payroll/
