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.

Reset (Zeroing Out) STP

Follow the next steps to reset an employee's STP details:

• Access the STP Updates from the payroll menu on the application menu
• Click Reset STP
• The Reset Lodged STP (Zeroing Amounts) window appears
• Select the financial year that you want to reset

The last lodged pay run date should appear.

• Add any employee that you would like to reset

Make sure to add the employees that you want to reset only, as every added employee will be sent to the ATO with zero amounts.

• If this is the final pay for the year, select Yes for the final pay for financial year option
• Enter the name of the person making this declaration
• Accept the SBR agreement
• Click Reset STP Report

Once the reset is successfully lodged, change the required key identifier(s) and lodge the required pay run

If the system does not have any lodgement history for the required financial year, this feature can not be used, talk to your accountant or call the ATO.
