End-of-year Finalisation Through Single Touch Payroll (STP)

By Cogger Gurry • July 11, 2025

If you have paid wages to employees in the 2025 financial year you will need to make a finalisation declaration by 14 July 2025 to ensure your employees can access their finalised information to complete their tax return. When you have reported and finalised your employees' information through STP, you are exempt from: providing payment summaries to your employees lodging a payment summary annual report. For payments to your employees that were not reported through STP, you still need to: give a payment summary to your employees provide the ATO with a payment summary annual report for these payment summaries. For small employers (19 or fewer employees) who only have closely held payees, the due date for end-of-year STP finalisation is the payee's tax return due date.
