Smart Payroll

How does it work?

• When you complete your payroll process, your employee’s PAYG withholding and super guarantee information will be sent to the ATO at the same time, saving the time and hassle of having to submit the exact same information for both pay and reporting.
• When you pay your employees’ super guarantee contributions to the funds, the exact same details will be sent to the ATO for your super reporting requirements.
• The entire pay and reporting process will be completed within your payroll software solution, saving you the hassle of working across multiple platforms.

How do I get ready?

Talk to your software provider, ask them when and how your product will be updated to offer Single Touch Payroll reporting.
