    What is STP Phase 2?

    The Australian government announced the expansion of the Single Touch Payroll (STP) which includes additional information. This expansion of STP, also known as STP Phase 2, reduces the burden on employers who report employees' information to multiple government agencies. It also helps Services Australia’s customers who may be your employee, get the right payment at the right time.

    We all are familiar with the first phase of Single Touch Payroll (STP), an ATO initiative designed to streamline the reporting of employee pay, tax withheld, and superannuation. In STP Phase 2, businesses must report additional information and eliminate existing reporting requirements in certain instances.

    Note that the STP processing applies to employers with 19 or fewer employees and is a mandatory obligation. If you are not reporting through STP, businesses should start reporting as penalties may apply.

     

    :link: Visit this link to know more about STP Phase 2 Expansion

    :link: Visit this link to know how to Process Single Touch Payroll in the Finance application

    :link: Visit this link to view the STP Phase 2 - Transition Guide

    Note that it takes just a few seconds to validate a single pay event file.

    What is the Impact?

    The STP reduces business reporting requirements and enables Australian businesses to digitally engage with Government agencies in a Single Touch Process.

    In STP Phase 2, you are required to provide ATO with the additional information however, the way to submit STP has not changed. All Businesses must comply with STP Phase 2 requirements or potentially face penalties from the ATO.

    STP Phase 2 is in continuation of STP and remains mandatory. It is advised to all businesses to timely plan the implementation of STP Phase 2. This ensures that compliance deadlines are met and avoids unnecessary penalties.

    Important dates to be noted: 

    Approval Date

    September 2022

    Roll Over Date

    October 2022

    What are the Key Changes?

    The major key changes of the STP Phase 2 are explained below.

    1. Gross Formula

    The Gross is calculated using distinct new formulas for the Employee and Header files.

    Gross for Employee File

    The Gross for Employee File is calculated based on the new formula provided below.

    STP Phase 2 – Gross Formula for Employee File 

    Total Shift based Value - Overtime Value + Additions which are set as "Include in Gross Taxable Amount in STP =True" in the Addition and Deduction master + Allowances Value - Allowances which are checked as "Separately Itemise in STP" in the Allowance Master - Allowances checked as "Exclude from Gross Taxable amount in STP" in the Allowance Master - Deductions amount which is as Include in Gross Taxable Amount in STP = “True” in Addition/Deduction master.

    Note that the Gross in the STP YTD Report is calculated as per the above formula.

    STP Phase 1 – Gross Formula for Employee File

     Total Shift based Value + Allowances Value + Additions which are set as "Include in Payment Summary =True" in the Addition and Deduction Master - Allowances which are checked as Separately Itemise in STP" in the Allowance Master - Allowances checked as "Exclude from Payment Summary" in the Allowance Master - Salary Sacrifice - Deductions which are as include in Payment Summary = “True” in Addition/Deduction Master.
     The Gross for Employee File Tuple is created for the employee as shown in the figure below. 

    Gross for Header File

    Now, the Gross for Header File is calculated based on the new formula provided below.

    STP Phase 2 – Gross Formula for Header File

    Total Shift based Value + Additions which are set as "Include in Gross Taxable Amount in STP =True" in the Addition and Deduction Master + Additions which are set as Separately Itemise in STP in Addition / Deduction Master + Allowances Value - Allowances checked as "Exclude from Gross Taxable amount in STP" in the Allowance Master - Salary Sacrifice to Superannuation - Salary sacrifice for other employee benefits - Deductions which is as Include in Gross Taxable Amount in STP = True in Addition/Deduction master

     

    Note that the Gross in STP PTD and Gross in STP header file report are calculated as per the above formula.

    STP Phase 1 – Gross Formula for Header File

    Total Shift based Value + Allowances Value + Additions which are set as "Include in Payment Summary =True" in the Addition and Deduction Master - Allowances which are checked as "Separately Itemise in STP" in the Allowance Master - Allowances checked as "Exclude from Payment Summary" in the Allowance Master - Salary Sacrifice - Deductions which are as include in Payment Summary = “True” in Addition/Deduction Master.

    The Gross for Header File Tuple is created for the employer as shown in the figure below.

    2. Tax File Number ‘987654321’ is no Longer Valid

    The member should not report an invalid Tax File Number (TFN) that will fail to validate while processing the STP run.

    In the STP Phase 1, the Tax File Number ‘987654321’ was used for quoting the alphabetic characters as it could not be provided in the TFN field. Now the TFN ‘987654321’should not be reported as this TFN code is no longer valid.

    You should request a replacement of the TFN Declaration from the member after confirming that the original is not valid. While awaiting updated information, you can report the member’s income using the following exemption codes:

    • 111 111 111 – within 28 days since the request for the TFN Declaration was performed or

    • 000 000 000 – more than 28 days since the request for the TFN Declaration was performed

    In the STP Phase 2 enabled application, staff will not be able to save the TFN ‘987654321’ in the Member module once the STP Phase 2 is rolled out and will show the alert message as shown in the figure below.

     

    Also, the system will validate the TFNs during STP processing by clicking Verify Employee Details (Mandatory). In case any member has TFN ‘987654321’, the member details will appear in the list of Invalid TFNs.

     

    How to Generate Existing Members List with TFN ‘987654321’?

    In the Staff portal application, to generate the list of the existing members having TFN ‘987654321’:

    • Click Reports Member Reports Member Detail Report and the Member Report opens

    • Select the filter option as the Financial Details option and click Export Members Report to Excel and the Members Detail Report is downloaded

    • Open the CSV file to fetch the list of members by filtering TFN ‘987654321’

     

    3. Visa Country of Existing Working Holiday Makers

    You need to mandatorily report the visa country for the employees who report to tax jurisdictions outside of Australia. This is relevant for businesses with staff having specific visas (i.e., Australian residents working overseas or Working Holiday Makers).

    It is mandatory to provide the visa country for each Workers Holiday Maker so that when the STP Phase 2 reporting is enabled, users will be able to update this information immediately without any impact on STP reporting.

    In the Staff portal application, the Passport Country is the mandatory field in the Visa tab for the member in the Employment Details page as shown in the figure below.

     

    4. Review/Update all Allowances/Additions Settings in the Masters as per ATO Guidelines along with their Remapped Codes

    In STP Phase 2, all the Allowances and Additions are itemised separately, not just expense allowances that may have been deductible on the employee’s IITR. This means that allowances and additions that used to be reported as Gross for the income type must now be separately itemised in STP Phase 2 reporting.

    Also, STP Phase 2 introduces the ability to report the deductions for Child Support Garnishee/Child Support Deduction and eliminates the need for employers to provide separate remittance advice to the Child Support Registrar while reporting through STP. However, you need to pay the required amounts directly to ATO by the date specified in your notice.

    While transitioning from STP Phase 1 to STP Phase 2, the Entire OnHire team will update the master settings of all the allowances and additions to be selected as ‘Separately Itemise in STP’, except reimbursements (if any provided by you), as per the prerequisites document after STP Phase 2 rollout.

    While transitioning from STP Phase 1 to STP Phase 2, all the existing Allowances and Additions codes will be remapped by the Entire OnHire team with the new codes defined as per ATO guidelines based on the data shared by you in the prerequisites document.

    You need to review the remapped Allowances and Additions codes after the STP Phase 2 rollout and ensure that the codes are set as per your requirement for a successful STP run.

    5. Change in Workers Holiday Maker Scale

    As per the ATO obligation, the clients must be registered as an employer of Working Holiday Maker in case of employment or planning to employ workers who hold either:

    • Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) or

    • Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462)

    The new Workers Holiday Maker Tax Scales are introduced in STP Phase 2. The two new tax scales added are the Workers Holiday Maker Scale - Unregistered Employer, and Workers Holiday Maker Scale - No TFN Supplied.

    Employers must be registered as Workers Holiday Maker before making the first payment to the employees. In case the employer is not a registered Workers Holiday Maker, the employer will have to deduct higher tax rates for the employees.

    While transitioning from STP Phase 1 to STP Phase 2, the Entire OnHire team will be updating your Employer Worker Holiday Maker Registration Status settings as per the information provided by you. In case the status is not provided in the prerequisites document by you, the system will be set to ‘Registered Employer for Workers Holiday Maker’ after the STP Phase 2 rollout.

    In case, you are not registered as an employer of Working Holiday Makers, the Entire OnHire team will update your Workers Holiday Maker employees tax scale to Workers Holiday Maker Scale - Unregistered Employer after STP Phase 2 rollout. This will be set in case you have selected the option as ‘YES’ for the ‘Do you want us to update your Workers Holiday Maker employees tax scale to Workers Holiday Maker Scale - Unregistered Employer’ in the prerequisites document.

    To view detailed information about each Workers Holiday Maker Tax Scale, click the respective links below: 

    1. Workers Holiday Maker Scale

    2. Workers Holiday Maker Scale - Unregistered Employer

    3. Workers Holiday Maker Scale - No TFN Supplied

    6. Validations to Restrict User to Change the Tax Scale from Workers Holiday Maker Scale to Australian Resident Scale and Vice versa

    1. As per the ATO guidelines for STP Phase 2, the staff is restricted to update any Workers Holiday Maker Tax Scale, once the payrun for the member has been performed on the Australian Resident Tax Scale.

      In the Finance application, when the staff changes the Tax Scale of the member to any Workers Holiday Maker Tax Scale from the selected Australian Resident Scale and the payrun of the member is already performed in the selected branch (with the Australian Resident Scale), the staff will get a validation pop-up on clicking the save button as shown in the figure below and staff will not be able to change the Tax Scale.




      Similarly, in the Staff portal application, the staff is restricted to update any Workers Holiday Maker Tax Scale, once the payrun for the member has been performed on the Australian Resident Tax Scale.


       
    2. As per the ATO guidelines for STP Phase 2, the staff is restricted to update any Australian Resident Tax Scale once the payrun for the member has been performed on the Workers Holiday Maker Tax Scale.

      In the Finance application, when the staff changes the Tax Scale of the member to any Australian Resident Scale from the selected Workers Holiday Maker Scale and the payrun of the member is already performed in the selected branch (with the Workers Holiday Maker Scale), the staff will get a validation pop-up on clicking the save button as shown in the figure below and staff will not be able to change the Tax Scale.

      Similarly, in the Staff portal application, the staff is restricted to update any Australian Resident Tax Scale once the payrun for the member has been performed on the Workers Holiday Maker Tax Scale. 

    7. Payment Date by Entity

    You should ensure to submit the STP run on or before the Payment Date. The Payment Date is the date when the payslip is processed. While processing the STP run, validations are in place for the Payment Date by Entity.

    The Payment Date Header Tuple is created as shown in the figure below. 

    In the Finance Application, this Payment Date is picked from the selected Pay Date on Payslip in the Payslip Processing screen as shown in the figure below.

    Enhancements

    Finance Application

    Shift Allowances for Unmanaged Job in Import Shifts

    This functionality applies to the shifts of Unmanaged Jobs while using the Import Shifts utility. When the shifts of Unmanaged Jobs are imported against a Job into the Entire OnHire system using the Import Shifts utility, in case the Job contains the Shift Allowances, the Finance application:

    1. Shows the provided Shift Allowances uploaded in the Confirm Shift screen against the shift. All the provided Shift Allowances of the shift against a job are always uploaded and reflected in this screen

      • If the Shift Allowance is Shift Type – it is applied once to the shift irrespective of split shift (manual/ through award)

      • If the Shift Allowance is Hour Type – it is applied to all split parts of the Shift (manual/ through award)

    2. The rates for the Shift Allowance are fetched from the rates table (if exists for the provided allowance based on shift parameters)

    3. In case Overtime is applied, the Shift Allowances of the shift for an Unmanaged Job remain the same however, the allowances from overtime are included

    4. In case the shift type or any other details are modified that need to fetch new allowances, a confirmation pop-up message appears to fetch new allowances in the Confirm screen. Click Yes and the system applies for new allowances along with unmanaged job shift allowance

    Note that for the Shift Allowance, even if the allowance is set to “Exclude as default allowance” in the Pay and Invoice Allowances screen:

    • Allowance manually added for a shift in the Confirm Shift screen picks rates from the rate table automatically

    • Allowances added against the job for whom shifts are imported through the Import Shifts utility are visible on the Confirm Shift screen by default and their rates are always fetched from the rate table

    Default Allowances

    The Default Allowances are now shown based on the “Exclude as Default Allowance” checkbox field as shown in the figure below.

    1. If the “Exclude as Default Allowance” field is unchecked - the system fetches the default allowances for pay and invoice as per the existing process in the Confirm Shift

    2. If the “Exclude as Default Allowance” field is checked - the system will not fetch the default allowances for pay and invoice in the Confirm Shift. This is applicable on the overtime conditions or at the time of changing the shift type or any other value

    When you mouse hover on the “Exclude as Default Allowance” an information tool tip is displayed.

    Member Distance Restriction for Check-In / Check-Out

    The Member App can restrict members to Check-In / Check-Out the Shift within the provided Member's Check-In / Check-Out distance restriction parameter. This parameter is set in the Application Settings of the Entire OnHire Staff Portal application.

    To activate this feature, please call the support team to set up your account with google maps.

    • You can set the ‘Member Check-In / Check-Out distance restriction’ parameter between 0.01 KM to 1.0 KM

    This setting is enabled only in case the ‘Enable shift check-in/check-out in Member App flag is set to ON.

    In the Record Shift Timings screen of the Member App, the member can Check-In / Check-Out within the provided range in the Application Settings of the Staff Portal application. The Member Check-In / Check-Out distance restriction range set can be greater than 0.0 KM up to 1.0 KM of the client location.

    The value 0.0 KM means no restriction in the Check-In / Check-Out to Record Shift Timings.
