What is Single Touch Payroll?

Single Touch Payroll is a compulsory reporting change for employers.

Single Touch Payroll will be expanded to include employers with 19 or less employees from 1 July 2019.

(Compulsory reporting for employers with 20 or more employees across all grouped companies, came into force 1 July, 2018.)

You will need to report to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) payments such as salaries and wages, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding and superannuation information each time you pay your employees.
