To submit a STP EOFY batch, follow the procedure below.
How to Submit a STP EOFY Batch | |
---|---|
1 | Go to Agency Portal > Payroll Australia > ATO Electronic Report > STP EOFY Process. The STP EOFY Process screen opens. |
2 | In the Pay Company field in the search header at the top of the screen, select the name of the pay company for which you want to report finalised pays for a financial year. |
3 | In the Tax Year field in the search header at the top of the screen, select the financial year that you want to finalise. |
4 | The Submission Status field in the search header at the top of the screen, untick all options except Not Submitted and then click Search EOFY Submissions . The search results list at the bottom of the screen lists a STP EOFY submission for the pay company and financial year that you have selected. The status of the batch is Not Submitted. |
5 | If you want to check the information that will be submitted to the ATO prior to submitting the STP EOFY batch, click on the batch in the search results list to select it and then click (for more information, see Viewing the STP EOFY Submission Reports). The STP EOFY Submission Report opens in a separate window and shows the data that will be reported to the ATO if you submit the STP EOFY batch. |
6 | Once you have reviewed the submission report and are confident there will be no more payments for the selected pay company and financial year, click on the STP EOFY batch in the search results list to select it and then click to submit the batch. A STP Declaration screen opens, showing the submission declaration that applies to the corresponding pay company. |
7 | Read the declaration text and if you agree to the declaration and want to continue to submit the STP EOFY batch, click the checkbox next to the text ‘Tick this box to sign this declaration …’ and click . The STP Declaration screen closes, the status of the batch changes to Queued and the batch is queued for sending to the ATO for processing. Once the submission has been sent out of FastTrack360, the status automatically changes to Submitted. |
If there are open pay periods that fall within the financial year that is being finalised, the warning message that is shown below will be displayed when you perform step 6. This alerts you that, because there are pay periods that are still open, there might be more payments to be processed for the financial year that you are finalising. You can choose to continue to submit the batch anyway by clicking on the message. |
