Updating tax file declaration form
Hi,
Hoping someone can help. I have an employee who was claiming the tax free threshold. They have since got an additional full time job so they wont be claiming the tax free threshold thru us. I have updated in reckon so the code is 1-No TFT. On doing this I noticed a new TFN declaration box. If I tick lodge TFN declaration via reckon gov connect will this be the same as sending a manual Tax File declaration to the ATO and the ATO will receive the updated the details. If so do I wait until my next pay run when I am uploading to STP and that is when the information is sent to ATO. Is there a record to show it has been received correctly.
thanks in advance

Hi Leanne
That’s correct ☺️
Both RA & RAH now contain this electronic declaration feature. Just ensure you tick the checkbox to include it, enter the date the employee signed the form & it will flow through in their next STP submission.
There’s no confirmation as it’s automatic.

Thanks Shaz. I was hoping that was the case. Do you need to keep that box ticked or after you have uploaded to stp do you untick it?

The tick includes it in every STP submission, so either is fine (I would leave it ticked so you know which ones have been lodged via STP!)
