Ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time not only builds trust but also keeps your payroll compliant with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Many businesses start with spreadsheets for basic payroll tasks, but when the end of the financial year approaches, the complexities\u2014and headaches\u2014begin. With Single Touch Payroll (STP) mandatory since 1 July 2019, all employers are required to electronically report payroll information to the ATO after every pay run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">At Bendigo Bookkeeping, we offer a cost-effective payroll solution starting from just $10 (excluding labour). Let us help you navigate the complexities of payroll so you can focus on growing your business.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>What Does STP Mean for Employers? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">For many businesses, the biggest change is the requirement to report payroll data more frequently instead of once at the end of the financial year. If you already use payroll or accounting software that supports STP, you can start reporting with ease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Key benefits for employers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\">No need to issue payment summaries to employees.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">No need to lodge a payment summary annual report for information reported and finalised through STP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>What You\u2019ll Receive with Our Payroll Services:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">1. Payment summaries are being replaced by income statements available online via myGov.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">2. Employees can access income statements by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\">Logging into their myGov account.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\">Selecting ATO online services, navigating to My profile, and choosing Income statements under My employment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">If employees use a registered tax agent, the agent will receive the income statement information directly from the ATO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">For those without myGov access or a tax agent, they can call the ATO at 13 28 61 for assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-2d22dc0500e159f2b39fe7a147caf14c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-564067357eb74c20cdd60b282c9b50bd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 class=\"p2\"><b>Phone:<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-c19a69724299734d5dcf5fe9cf9748d7-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr '><a href='tel:+61418573667'  class='avia-button av-av_button-c19a69724299734d5dcf5fe9cf9748d7 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Call Now\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue854' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Call Now<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-91d7ccd583a503147498e120fee2ff9b hr-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-564067357eb74c20cdd60b282c9b50bd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 class=\"p2\"><b>Email:<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/bendigobookkeeping.com.au\/index.php\/single-touch-payroll\/\" method=\"post\" data-fields-with-error=\"Found errors in the following field(s):\" class=\"avia_ajax_form av-form-labels-visible   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last   \" data-avia-form-id=\"1\" data-avia-redirect=''  aria-label='Contact Form' ><fieldset><p class='  first_form  form_element form_element_half' id='element_avia_1_1'><label for=\"avia_1_1\">Name <abbr class=\"required\" title=\"required\">*<\/abbr><\/label> <input name=\"avia_1_1\" class=\"text_input is_empty\" type=\"text\" id=\"avia_1_1\" value=\"\" \/><\/p><p class='  form_element form_element_half' id='element_avia_2_1'><label for=\"avia_2_1\">E-Mail <abbr class=\"required\" title=\"required\">*<\/abbr><\/label> <input name=\"avia_2_1\" class=\"text_input is_email\" type=\"text\" id=\"avia_2_1\" value=\"\" \/><\/p><p class='  first_form  form_element form_fullwidth av-last-visible-form-element' id='element_avia_3_1'><label for=\"avia_3_1\" class=\"textare_label hidden textare_label_avia_3_1\">Message <abbr class=\"required\" title=\"required\">*<\/abbr><\/label><textarea  name=\"avia_3_1\" class=\"text_area is_empty\" cols=\"40\" rows=\"7\" id=\"avia_3_1\" ><\/textarea><\/p><p class=\"hidden\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"avia_4_1\" class=\"hidden \" id=\"avia_4_1\" value=\"\" \/><\/p><p class=\"form_element \"><input type=\"hidden\" value=\"1\" name=\"avia_generated_form1\" \/><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" class=\"button\"  data-sending-label=\"Sending\"\/><\/p><\/fieldset><\/form><div id=\"ajaxresponse_1\" class=\"ajaxresponse ajaxresponse_1 hidden\"><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4930","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Single Touch Payroll - Bendigo Bookkeeping<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Stay compliant with STP using Bendigo Bookkeeping Services.
