Enabling STP v2
Note: Please note that all Infinet Cloud Payroll customers are covered by a blanket deferral start date until September 2022. This means that you should NOT enable STP v2 until you are ready to begin reporting. E.g. the 22/23 tax year (starting 1st July 2022).
To enable STP v2 you must do the following for each Company Branch you have setup in Infinet Cloud Payroll:
-
Run the Branch Setup Assistant - from the menu select Payroll > Single Touch Payroll (AU) > Branch Setup Assistant
-
Select the Branch you wish to enable
-
Click Next > through to step 4. Configure STP Options
-
Mark the following checkboxes as appropriate:
-
Use Production Servers - this MUST be checked to report to the ATO (DO NOT uncheck this).
-
Use V2 Reporting - mark this to enable version/phase 2 reporting. Once enabled and you have reported then you cannot switch back to v1.
-
Report Child Support Amounts - mark this to enable the reporting of Child Support deductions and/or garnishee amounts via STP v2. This reduces the need to send a separate remittance advice to the Child Support Registrar. For more information please see: Employer Reporting Guidelines
-
Working Holiday Maker Registered - mark this if this branch is registered as an employer of Working Holiday Makers. For more information, see Employer registration for Working Holiday Makers
-
Remove Accents From Names - mark this to automatically remove any accents from employee names when generating STP Pay Events. For example, an employee with the name Désirée will be changed to Desiree to ensure validation doesn’t fail.
