As I’ve mentioned recently, single touch payroll (STP) is going to be brilliant for the Australian small business landscape. Not only will it force employers to cover off on their key financial obligations, but the information flowing to small business advisors and the government organisations is going to be far more timely.
We can now report – it’s officially here – businesses that have 19 or less employees will need to make the switch to STP.
The new Bill, which has just been passed through Senate, means ALL businesses will need to be utilising single touch payroll regardless of the number of employees.
The effective date for micro businesses will be 1 July 2019.
STP was officially rolled out for employers with 20 or more employees from 1 July 2018.
