STP 'finalisation declaration' due soon
As part of NFPs' single-touch-payroll obligations, they are required to finalise employees' 2019–20 end-of-financial-year payroll information by 31 July if they have 19 or fewer employees and 4 July if they have 20 or more.
NFPs will need to make a 2019-20 'finalisation declaration' through STP-enabled software. Payment summaries to employees and lodging a 'payment summary' annual report to the ATO are no longer required.

Getting the “employee vs contractor” call wrong can be expensive. It affects how you pay people, what taxes and super you owe, your workers comp and payroll tax, and your risk if the ATO or Fair Work take a closer look. Here’s a practical guide to the key differences, the hidden traps, and how a diligent accountant helps you stay on the right side of the rules.
