Xero are working closely with the ATO to roll out STP in Xero Payroll. Xero will has a simple set up process for STP.
During the setup, Xero will display your software service ID which you will need to provide to the ATO. You can do this one of two ways,
- Call the ATO and notify them, or
- Login to ATO Access Manager (using Auskey) and nominate a software service provider.
Once setup the option to report to the ATO will be available for each pay run and your payroll information will be filed with the ATO.
It should be noted that due to the filing requirements for STP, once you have started using STP you will only be able to revert the latest posted pay run for each pay calendar. Any corrections to previous pays will have to be done via an unscheduled pay run.
