Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to provide Payment Summaries?
No.
After STP Finalisation, employees access their Income Statement through myGov.
Can I process payroll before completing Finalisation?
Yes.
You can continue processing payroll for the new financial year before completing the previous year's STP Finalisation.
Can I finalise one employee only?
Yes.
Simply select the employee you wish to finalise and click Finalise.
Can I amend payroll after finalising?
Yes.
Update the payroll, publish the pay run again, submit the updated STP event, then complete STP Finalisation again.
My Payroll Summary doesn't match Finalisation.
Check for:
Backdated pay runs
Pay runs published out of order
Recent payroll amendments
If you've updated an earlier pay run, republish the latest pay run so the correct Year-to-Date values are refreshed.
Why is my employee showing "Submitted" instead of "Final"?
The STP Finalisation has been sent to the ATO and is awaiting processing.
Once accepted, the status will automatically update to Final.
When is STP Finalisation due?
Employers must complete STP Finalisation by 14 July each year.
Can I finalise again after making changes?
Yes.
Any changes made within the same financial year require the employee to be finalised again so the updated Year-to-Date values are reported to the ATO.
