The Australian Taxation Office introduced Single Touch Payroll (STP) as a new way for employers to report salary and wages in 2018. Reports are now made every pay period, instead of once at the end of the financial year.

Payment Summaries (a.k.a. group certificates) have now been replaced with online Income Statements, available from myGov.

Employees should not see much impact throughout the year as a result of STP, or after the introduction of STP2 in 2022, but being aware of changes at tax time can help secure your tax refund faster.
 

How to view your income statement in myGov

Log in to myGov, select ATO Online Services
Click 'View my income statements'  
'Tax ready' is equivalent to receiving a payment summary
