*Additional
Step

If there are validation errors, double click the line to see the details. Close STP Reporting screen, fix errors and reopen STP Reporting screen.

Step 4

In the Pay Events to Report, highlight the line you wish to report and select View Details. The first line on the Pay Event Details screen will display current period values. Balance this with the Payment Summary Report (mentioned above).

Step 5

The rest of the screen (grid) will display YTD values for all employees who were paid in this PPE. These are the values that will be uploaded to the ATO/myGov, replacing what is already in myGov for each employee. The screen (grid) can be customised to show more, or less, column headings. To see which items are available for display, right click on the screen and select Customise. Items from the Customization box can be dragged into the headings line. Select CANCEL to return to the previous screen, to complete the process.

Step 6

Select Report to ATO.
This will update the YTDs of all employees, who were paid in this PPE, on the employees' myGov.

Step 7

A Declaration screen will open, tick the declaration box and select Report.

Step 8

Wait for the upload process to complete which will result in a message in the Status column, i.e. Received at Gateway - awaiting response.

The STP screen may now be closed. Check this screen later to see if the message has changed. If the status has changed to Success, then the process has been completed for this PPE and no further action is required.
