Single Touch Payroll is a government initiative introduced enabling employers to automatically report (in real-time) staff salary and wages (including ordinary time earnings), PAYG withholding amounts and Superannuation information to the ATO when employees are paid.

​

STP reporting started on 1 July 2018 for employers with 20 or more employees and was expanded to include small employers (with 19 or fewer employees) from 1 July 2019.

​

In the 2019–20 Budget, the government announced that Single Touch Payroll (STP) would be extended to include additional information starting on 1 January 2022.

​

With the expansion of STP, also known as STP Phase 2, the primary goal is to reduce the burden on employers who need to report information about their employees to multiple government agencies. It also assists Services Australia’s mutual customers in correctly reporting their payment information. Another critical benefit is payroll compliance resulting from the granular information being reported.
