Under STP phase 2 you will be required to report additional information to the ATO including cessation details, salary sacrifices and more.<\/p>\n<p>You will also be required to separately itemise the components which make up the gross amount and report all allowances separately, not just expense allowances that may have been deductible on your employee\u2019s individual income tax return. These new requirements will remain an automated process, handled through your STP compliant Reckon software.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is STP Phase 2 reporting being introduced?<\/h2>\n<p>This extended capturing by the ATO will be shared more widely with relevant government bodies such as Centrelink, combining some reporting burdens for employers and further assisting the administration component for social services.<\/p>\n<h2>When do I need to be STP Phase 2 compliant?<\/h2>\n<p>The official start for the STP Phase 2 is 1 January 2022, however, Reckon has secured a deferral with the ATO until 30 June 2023. This means you won\u2019t have to comply with the STP Phase 2 requirements until this date.<\/p>\n<p>The deferral applies to all our payroll products including Reckon One, Reckon Payroll App, Reckon Accounts Hosted, Reckon Accounts and Payroll Premier.<\/p>\n<h2>Why did Reckon secure a deferral?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re working on making the switch to the Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 a seamless experience for our users. As such, we&#8217;re working closely with the ATO throughout the whole implementation of STP Phase 2 and believe the deferral is in the best interests of our customers.<\/p>\n<h2>What does my business need to do?<\/h2>\n<p>You won\u2019t need to do anything! Just keep managing your payroll as you currently are under STP Phase 1. As a Reckon customer, you will automatically be covered by our deferral. You don\u2019t need to apply for anything as a business owner.<\/p>\n<p>If you are contacted by ATO about your transition to STP Phase 2 simply provide them with our <strong>Deferral Reference Number: 85 627 150<\/strong> which applies to all our Reckon Payroll products.<\/p>\n<h2>How will Reckon Partners be affected?<\/h2>\n<p>The deferrals also apply to the Reckon Partner network. We\u2019ll keep you updated on the rollout of STP Phase 2 into our products so you\u2019re able to best support your clients through the transition.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s next?<\/h2>\n<p>Reckon is working closely with the ATO to update our payroll solutions to enable STP Phase 2 information and make the entire process as simple as possible. You\u2019ll be notified as soon as our products are ready to support the new reporting requirements. In the meantime, we&#8217;ll continue to provide our customers and partners with information and educational content to guide you through the transition.<\/p>\n<p><em>Last updated 05\/10\/22<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;cta&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Get started with bank reconciliation today!<br \/>\n&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Need software to help you manage Single Touch Payroll?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got something for all business types and sizes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI0MjU5MCJ9fQ==@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;35px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|tablet&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STP Phase 2:Information for Reckon customersAs STP Phase 2 approaches, we\u2019re here to provide an update on how Reckon is managing the new requirements.
