Xero, the simple online accounting solution

Xero has changed the face of accounting in the last decade due to its cloud based software application. In our opinion Xero is the best online accounting software available for small businesses. When maintained properly Xero can provide live, accurate and timely financial information about your business. If the data is processed correctly there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to generate reports for you to analyse real time business data.

Single Touch Payroll

Is your business ready for STP? Single Touch Payroll (STP) is mandatory for all businesses who employ staff from July 1, 2019

Under STP, all businesses will report on salary or wages, pay as you go withholding and superannuation directly to the ATO, electronically, and at the same time as you pay your employees

STP will require you to have your payroll transaction data transferred to the ATO every time you pay your employees. Transmitting this data requires a software solution, our personal favourite is Xero as it’s a simple and easy solution!

With the rollout of STP, the reports and liabilities owing will be available to you in real time. This means you have the opportunity to make payments towards PAYG tax withheld and superannuation contributions before their due date, if you wish

When you are thinking about whether your business is STP ready, consider this:

Does your payroll software support STP reporting?
When do you need to start reporting using STP?
Is your payroll team aware of the rollout of STP and is all your employee data accurate?

If you are unsure of anything related to getting your business STP compliant, get in contact with us!
