Single Touch Payroll 2020 data
The ATO has issued a reminder to employers who report through Single Touch Payroll (STP) – which should be all employers, unless an exemption or deferral applies – that they will need to finalise payroll information for the 2020 income year by making a declaration.
The due date for making finalisation declarations is:
- 14 July 2020 for employers with 20 or more employees; and
- 31 July 2020 for employers with 19 or fewer employees.
Employers that finalise through STP are not required to provide payment summaries to employees and lodge a payment summary annual report to the ATO.
Instead, employees will be able to access their payroll information (for preparation of their 2020 tax return) through a registered tax agent or via ATO online services.
