How does Single Touch Payroll work?

Single Touch Payroll (STP) is the Australian government's method for reporting employees' payroll, tax and superannuation information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). If you're using MYOB payroll software, you can send the information directly from your software to the ATO.

What are the benefits of Single Touch Payroll?

Single Touch Payroll (STP) means businesses don’t need to complete payment summaries and group certificates at the end of financial year. STP software automatically sends your employees’ tax and superannuation information to the ATO. STP helps employees, too. They no longer have to wait until EOFY to see their tax information. Their details - salary, PAYG withholding and superannuation - is readily available via their myGov account.

What is payroll software?

Payroll software helps you pay your employees. It automates processes like calculating pay, superannuation, tax and annual leave. It also helps ensure that figures are accurate and follow legal and tax requirements. 

What are the benefits of cloud payroll software?

Cloud payroll software, also known as online payroll software, is software that's accessed on a browser and requires an internet connection. You can access your online payroll software from a desktop, mobile or tablet, as well as all browsers. 

With online payroll software, your data is stored in the cloud. Backups happen automatically, so you don’t have to constantly do them yourself. 

Cloud software keeps your data secure. It has more room than other forms of data storage, meaning you can store more information. 



How do I use payroll software?

Each type of payroll software is different. Cloud payroll software, like MYOB payroll, follows a standard structure. It stores financial information about your employees and uses this to generate pay, superannuation, tax and annual leave. Simple!

Is there a minimum subscription period?

Nope. And there are no lock-in contracts either. Pay monthly (or yearly to save more) and enjoy the flexibility to cancel anytime.
