Xero STP2 Deadline Approaches

March 23, 2023

Xero users must enrol in STP2 by 31 March 2022.

The mandatory start date for Single Touch Payroll (STP) Phase 2 reporting was 1 January 2022. Xero secured an extention for its software users, but that deadline is now approaching.


If you're paying your employees using Xero, you have one week left to complete the setup steps and enrol in STP2.


Xero has a great guide on how to get compliant with the new compliance requirements and there's a lot of information available on the ATO website.


If you still need more help with your STP2 setup, book a payroll file review from us or give us a call.
