Frequently Asked Questions
What does payroll include?
Payroll covers the process of calculating and paying employee wages, PAYG withholding, superannuation contributions, and payroll tax where applicable. It also includes generating pay slips and reporting through Single Touch Payroll (STP).
How often should payroll be processed?
Most Australian businesses pay staff weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. The ATO requires Single Touch Payroll reporting each time employees are paid, so your payroll schedule should match your reporting frequency.
What is Single Touch Payroll (STP)?
STP is an ATO system that sends employee payment, PAYG, and superannuation information directly to the ATO at the time of each pay run. It’s mandatory for all employers in Australia.
Who is responsible for payroll tax?
Payroll tax is a state or territory-based tax on wages paid by employers over a threshold amount. Your accountant or registered tax agent can help calculate and prepare your payroll tax information for review and lodgement.
How are superannuation contributions managed?
Employers must pay super contributions at least quarterly to employees’ nominated super funds. Payroll software can automate the calculation and ensure payments are made by the due date.
Can you help if I’ve missed a payroll or payment deadline?
Yes. We can review your records, identify missed obligations, and assist you in preparing any required reports or adjustments to bring your payroll up to date with ATO standards.
Do you help set up payroll software for new businesses?
Absolutely. We help small and medium sized businesses choose, configure, and connect payroll software to their accounting systems—so they can process payroll correctly from the first pay run.
