What is Single Touch Payroll (STP)?
Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a government program designed to make business reporting easier. Employers, or their intermediaries, can report payments like salaries, wages, pay-as-you-go (PAYG) withholding, and super contributions directly to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) from their payroll system. This reporting happens simultaneously when employees are paid. If your business uses Entire OnHire, it supports STP through SBR2 – ebMS3.
