Single Touch Payroll - Reset STP (Zeroing Out)
There are five key identifiers in the pay event that define the payer and payee relationship:
- ABN
- Branch Number
- BMS ID or Software ID
- Payroll Number
- Tax File Number
When any of the above changes during the financial year, an update report must be submitted with zero amounts to reset the employee's STP details, failing to do so will result in the employee having duplicate payment summaries
Reset (Zeroing Out) must be lodged before changing any of the key identifiers.
