How Do I Process Single Touch Payroll?

From July 2019 the ATO will require that employers align ATO reporting with their pay schedule and submit employee YTD figures using the Single Touch Payroll reporting standard each time pays are made to employees.

The only thing you need to do to be able to send STP in Lightning Payroll is get an ATO machine credential. Please see our FAQ on machine credentials here.
