How to Process a STP Final Event

How to Process a STP Final Event

Single Touch Payroll (STP) brings the benefit of not having to provide employees with Payment Summaries or submit a Payment Summary Annual Report (PSAR) file to the ATO.  Instead the user is required to run a Final Event when the financial year is complete to inform the ATO that the company has finalised and confirmed the figures for the employees.

14th July – Final Event must be processed by this date for every other year if submitting via STP
