Hi, I would like to prepare wages for our teams for the Christmas Break, however want to pay the weeks over Christmas before I process the weeks leading up to then.
I have done this in the past, however am not sure if it affects the ATO payroll reporting.
Hi ShelleyHilan
ATO rules state that you must declare STP before or on the date payment is made, so you can certainly record the pay of the Christmas period now, then send the report in STP later provided that it's sent no later than the payment date.
If you have any further questions please feel free to let us know.
