From 1 July 2021, the ATO requires Closely Held Payees - CHP to be reported through STP Reporting; however, their current STP1 reporting specification does not currently provide for a field to report CHP status through STP Pay Events or Update Events.
Closely Held Payees are broadly defined by the ATO as 'an individual directly related to the entity from which they receive payments.' More information about CHPs is available in the ATO article STP reporting for closely held payees
You can allocate employees as CHP in WageEasy by selecting Closely Held Payee in the Income Type of the employee tax record in Employee, Payments, Tax, STP Reporting.
If you pay employees set up as CHPs, their pay values are reported in the STP Pay Events along with pay values processed for other employees in the relevant period.

This ATO guide clearly explains the changed reporting requirements for STP2, e.g. more detailed breakdown of employee gross, and provides useful examples.
