Australian employers are required to report payroll information to the ATO accurately and on time. At Tax Stuff, our single touch payroll accountants support businesses across Australia with compliant STP reporting, reliable payroll oversight, and confidence that obligations are being met correctly.
We help employers avoid common payroll errors, missed submissions, and compliance issues by managing STP reporting with care and precision. The result is reduced payroll stress, fewer corrections, and peace of mind that your reporting aligns with ATO requirements.
Single Touch Payroll (STP) is the ATO’s mandatory reporting system for employers, requiring payroll information to be reported each time employees are paid. This includes wages, PAYG withholding, and superannuation information, all submitted directly to the ATO through payroll-enabled software.
STP reporting is required for most Australian employers, regardless of business size. While the system is designed to streamline reporting, many businesses encounter issues such as incorrect submissions, missed pay events, or mismatches between payroll and accounting records. These errors can lead to follow-up queries, amendments, or penalties.
Accurate STP reporting relies on clean payroll data and proper system setup. STP also integrates closely with payroll and accounting platforms, meaning payroll errors can flow through to broader reporting if not addressed. Proper STP accounting helps ensure payroll data remains consistent, compliant, and aligned with other financial records.
Many employers choose to engage specialists to manage STP compliance and reporting obligations. Tax Stuff supports Australian businesses with accurate, structured STP reporting designed to meet ATO requirements without unnecessary complexity. Our STP services often operate alongside broader payroll and compliance support, including accurate reporting that aligns with BAS lodgements and integrated accounting oversight from our business accountants. We focus on accuracy and compliance, ensuring your payroll data is reliable at every stage.

STP reporting can be confusing and time-consuming, particularly for businesses managing payroll alongside other responsibilities. Changes to payroll data, employee movements, and reporting deadlines increase the risk of mistakes.
Using specialist STP support provides:
Working with a single touch payroll accountant means employers have professional oversight of their payroll reporting, allowing them to focus on running their business rather than managing compliance concerns.
