    nothing to stop you from lodging STP now.   I just treat it as an extension of the payroll processing and do it at as soon as I have done the rest of my work in Hosted

    Jo-Anne, STP submissions can be sent on the pay date or before.
    Something to note as well, the ATO is performing major system maintenance from 24 December to 2 January and as a result their systems will be switched off.

    Our GovConnect service will remain active & available however all submissions will be queued and sent once the ATO resume their operations & switch their service back on. There is a message within GovConnect outlining this as well.

    Kevin, I know that,

    our office is closed from today until the 3rd January, we have scheduled pays to be paid on the 24th.  My question was whether STP could be scheduled for the same time.

    You process the pays. You submit the STP. You don't need to schedule anything. If you are taking abiut the money leaving the account, its irrelevant

    I assume that you:
    1;   enter payroll data into Hosted, then
    2:  set up payments in your banking system for either the same day or a later date

    You are required to lodge the STP on or before the employees are paid.   This means that it doesn't matter that people won't receive their pay until 24 December (or some other date after you have done the work).

    So make the STP lodgement step 1A (and do it now!).       

    You can then relax at home on Christmas Eve

    Bruce,thank you. I was not aware that you could lodge STP before wages were paid, I thought it had to be done at the same time. Thank you. All sorted.
    Just needed a straight forward answer.
