You’re STP Ready With ClickSuper

Let ClickSuper manage your STP Compliance so you can focus on the bigger picture

Single Touch Payroll is a reporting change for employers that started on 1 July 2018.

Employers with 20 or more employees that do not have an ATO deferral will have to report payments such as salaries and wages, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding and superannuation information from your payroll solution each time they pay their employees.

With ClickSuper STP, we have Employers and Payroll providers covered to meet their Single Touch Payroll (STP) compliance requirements.

How STP works:

1

Employer pays employee

• Payments made via payroll solution
• Employee tax & super details sent to ATO
• Employee receives payments of wages/salary
2

ATO receives the STP data

• Salary or wages information
• Tax withheld amounts
• Super liability amounts &/or OTE
3

BAS & PAYG forms prefilled with STP data

• Small and Medium companies: W1 & W2 data on the BAS statement are prefilled
• Large companies: All W labels are removed from the BAS & PAYG withholding now made via electronic payment
4

Employees access records via the myGov portal:

• PAYG tax and super amounts
• Access end of year payment summary
• Personal tax returns will be prefilled with STP details

What our clients say

We chose to use ClickSuper for Single Touch Payroll as we were already using them for Super Clearing. Having both functions in the one place has made it extremely easy to operate and upload our files. Uploading is simple and fast. If there is ever any errors within the file the response from Click to explain the problem is clear and easy to understand. This makes for easy correction to resubmit the file. The fears of having to process Single Touch Payroll when it was first introduced were quickly put aside when I realised how easy it was to do with the Click upload. On top of that customer support is amazing if you ever need to speak to anyone.

Lea JamesAccountant - Electrix Pty Ltd

ClickSuper STP is easy to use and it took only a few minutes to upload the STP file. Job Centre needed a gateway for STP reporting to the ATO, our payroll software company suggested ClickSuper as one of the gateways available. As we were already using ClickSuper as our super clearing house it made sense to utilise them for the STP gateway as well. In my dealing with ClickSuper I have always found them to be professional and supportive. If we have had any problems ClickSuper have always dealt with them quickly and efficiently to help us sort the issues out. For us ClickSuper is an efficient and affordable solution to both our Super and STP reporting needs

Frequently Asked Employer STP Questions:

HOW WILL SINGLE TOUCH PAYROLL (STP) AFFECT YOUR BUSINESS?

Currently employers can pay super monthly or quarterly with the super funds reporting the contribution data to the ATO annually.

STP requires super to be reported when each pay run has been processed. This will enable the ATO to calculate a reasonable estimate of employees’ SG entitlements and step in to require employers to pay their SG obligations if they aren’t paying the correct amounts. This will also reduce the ATO’s reliance on employees to report employer non-compliance.

The collection of superannuation contribution data through STP will also enable the ATO to display this information on the employee’s MyGov account, providing Australians with easier access to information about their superannuation via the same government platform that houses much of their taxation, medical and other records.

WHAT HAPPENS IF A BUSINESS BREACHES STP COMPLIANCE?

The Federal Government is also improving the effectiveness of the ATO’s recovery powers, including strengthening director penalty notices and using security bonds for high-risk employers, to ensure that unpaid superannuation is better collected by the ATO and paid directly to employees’ superannuation accounts.

It is expected the ATO will also have the ability to seek court-ordered penalties for employers who are repeatedly caught failing to pay their SG liabilities.

WILL EMPLOYERS NEED TO SUBMIT A PAYMENT SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY ENDING JUNE 2018?

Yes, the EOFY obligations do not change for the FY ending June 2018.

WILL EMPLOYERS NEED TO SUBMIT A PAYMENT SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY ENDING JUNE 2019?

If they use STP reporting, they won’t need to submit a payment summary annual report. The ATO will make that information available to employees through myGov.

IF I BEGIN USING STP AFTER 1 JULY, DO I HAVE TO PLAY CATCH-UP IN REPORTING TO THE ATO?

No. Each STP filing includes all year-to-date payroll information. This feature, along with the ATO deferral, means there won’t be any complications when you begin using STP.

WILL I STILL NEED TO SUBMIT A BAS?

Yes – you’ll still need to submit a BAS, but the W1 and W2 values will be pre-filled

DO I NEED TO TEST MY PAYROLL SOLUTION’S STP FILE WITH THE CLICKSUPER SOLUTION?

No, any complying STP files can be processed by ClickSuper.
