Single Touch Payroll is a legislation introduced by the ATO where essentially all businesses are required to provide individual details of all Payroll Transactions as they happen. The ACR payroll system has been modified to support this requirement to make a seamless transition.
ACR previously contacted customers requesting their feedback if they need this feature and to advise how we are configuring them. Sites will be configured as customers respond in readiness for July 1st, 2018.
A Single Touch Payroll Declaration window will appear for you to accept this declaration when you process the Payroll Sheet and when you process the PAYGW Annual Report(This is the end of year file).
Once the file is created it will output to either Disk or DocX. Files configured to be sent via DocX will be sent to the VAN partner you have previously nominated (If supported. OzEdi is currently supported by ACR) to then forward to the ATO.
A new Menu Item called ‘Single Touch Payroll Output Log’ can be found under Payroll>Reports>Single Touch Payroll Log. This will show any file created and users with Administrator access will have the function to re-output files as required.
