Single Touch Payroll Finalisation

STP Finalisation

You need to make a finalisation declaration by 14 July each year, which is simply notifying the ATO that the payroll information for all employees reported through STP payroll for the year is complete and correct. Once finalised you should inform each employee so they know they can access their finalised information to complete their tax return.

If you are unable to make a finalisation declaration on or before the due date, you will need to apply for a deferral.

Complying with STP finalisation means the employer is exempt from having to provide payment summaries or lodging a payment summary annual report.

The 2023 STP finalisation can be made through your payroll software. If you need any further assistance with reconciling your payroll for accuracy or completing a STP finalisation please contact our office.

Our New Brand is Taking Shape

June 18, 2026

If you've driven past our office recently, you may have noticed some changes underway! We're excited to share that installation of our new Brentnalls Western Victoria signage has commenced. Like many outdoor projects, the recent weather has caused a few delays, but we're looking forward to seeing the finished result once the weather improves! The rebrand represents an exciting new chapter for our firm, while maintaining the same trusted team, local knowledge and commitment to supporting our clients. We think it will be well worth the wait!
