Note: This only applies to businesses that are exempt from reporting Single Touch Payroll (STP) for the 2021/2022 financial year.
| This page will tell you how to lodge your Pay As You Go (PAYG) payment summary via the payroll platform, or how to download an EMPDUPE to lodge the report yourself. |
Before you start:
- Make sure your company details are recorded correctly in the ATO Settings screen, accessible from Payroll Settings.
- Enable electronic lodgement from QuickBooks Payroll to the ATO. This can be accessed from the ATO Settings screen, then navigating to the Electronic Lodgement & STP screen.
- Make sure you have published the employee payment summaries.
Lodge your PAYG payment summary report via the Payroll platform
Important to note: Electronic submission of payment summaries isn't allowed when the payee address details are incomplete, employees have supplied an invalid TFN, or Single Touch Payroll has been enabled for your company in the ATO Settings.
Furthermore, if you have unpublished payment summaries when you commence the lodgement process, you'll be provided with a warning, but you can still lodge the payment summaries. However, you will need to submit a further lodgement once the unpublished payment summaries are published.
- Go to Reports (Take me there).
- Select Payment Summaries (located under ATO Reporting).
- Choose the appropriate filters then select Show Payment Summaries.
- Select Lodge.
- Read and tick the terms and conditions, then select Lodge now.
- Select Close.
Once you lodge Payment Summaries you'll be able to view a Lodgement Receipt number by hovering over the Status field on the payment summary.
