How Time and Attendance Solutions Can Help You Report for Single Touch Payroll
Are you ready for Single Touch Payroll? Single Touch Payroll was recently introduced by the Australian Taxation Office to change how and when small businesses report their payroll activity, such as salaries and wages, super information and PAYG withholding. Previously businesses were required to report payroll information to the ATO on a monthly or quarterly basis, however, with the introduction of Single Touch Payroll, employees are now required to report this information digitally after each payday.
What does Single Touch Payroll mean for my business?
One of the key changes Single Touch Payroll has introduced to reporting is the requirement for this to be done digitally. Many employers are still using paper or spreadsheets to manage timesheets and payroll; however, with Single Touch Payroll introducing more streamlined and transparent reporting to the ATO, this will soon become obsolete.
If you are already using online payroll software, great, just make sure that it can produce ATO-compliant reports. If your business is using desktop software to process payroll, you will need to find a service that can upload your payroll reports, convert them into the ATO-required format and submit them on your behalf. If your business uses spreadsheets or paper in your payroll systems, you will also need to find a service that can upload your payroll reports, convert them into the ATO-required format and submit them on your behalf.
