Business Alert at 9:00am With CVA – STP Checklist

Clear Vision • March 13, 2019

STP – Do you have a checklist?

We have developed a checklist to prepare our clients who have 19 employees or less for the inevitable Single Touch Payroll switch over as of 1 July 2019.

The checklist which is available for you now covers what you need to do as an employer and what information you need from each employee.

It runs through the information that you are required to report to the ATO each pay run plus it even covers how you can check if your payroll system is STP enabled.

Our goal is to assist you to start reporting before 1 July 2019 so that you are an old hand before the deadline is reached.

Single Touch Payroll is inevitable, but with our help it won’t be painful so email me alex@cvaccountancy.com.au and I’ll be happy to email the checklist to you. There’s no charge so only gain.

Running a business isn’t just about making sales — it’s about making enough sales to cover your costs and pay yourself what you deserve. But how do you figure out how much turnover (aka revenue) you actually need to make each month? Knowing this number helps you: Set realistic sales targets Price your products or services properly Know when to cut costs or increase margins Understand when your business is sustainable This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about clarity and control. Once you know your required turnover, you can stop guessing and start planning. Whether you’re a solopreneur, a growing startup, or a small business owner, this is the foundation of making your business work for you — not the other way around. We love numbers — seriously.

From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
