STP Compliance

Keeping up with the ATO's Single Touch Payroll (STP) rules can feel confusing, but with KBM Australia, it’s simple and stress-free. We make sure your payroll is fully compliant, accurate, and reported on time.

Every business that pays employees in Australia must use STP. It automatically sends your employees’ tax and super information directly to the ATO each time you process a pay run. If your business isn’t set up correctly, it can cause problems later — that’s why it’s important to get it right from the start.

What is Single Touch Payroll

Single Touch Payroll (STP) is the Australian Government’s system for real-time reporting of employee payments. It keeps your tax and superannuation data up to date with the ATO automatically.

Each time you pay your staff, information about their gross wages, PAYG withholding, and super contributions is sent securely to the ATO.

At KBM Australia, we make sure your payroll system is correctly set up and connected, so every report is transmitted without errors.

Getting Your Business Ready for STP

If your payroll software isn’t linked to the ATO yet, don’t worry — we can help with every step of the setup.

Our team configures your STP-enabled software — such as Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, or Reckon — to meet all ATO standards. We ensure your business details, employee data, and pay categories are accurate before reporting begins.

Once everything is connected, we perform a test submission to confirm your system communicates smoothly with the ATO. After that, we guide you on managing future pay runs and reporting obligations.

Managing Ongoing STP Submissions

STP isn’t a one-time setup — you must report to the ATO every time you process a pay run, even during inactive pay periods.

We help you manage ongoing reporting, resolve rejected submissions, and fix errors promptly. Our experts also prepare and lodge your finalisation reports at the end of each financial year, ensuring your employees’ income statements are accurate and ready for myGov.

You’ll never miss a reporting deadline or struggle with technical issues. We stay on top of ATO rules, so you stay compliant all year round.

Why STP Compliance Matters

Being compliant with STP keeps your business transparent and trusted. It helps you avoid ATO penalties, ensures your staff’s tax and super records are correct, and improves payroll efficiency.

With STP in place, you gain better control, less paperwork, and faster reporting — one of the best steps toward a reliable, modern payroll system.
