What changes are happening in STP for Payday Super?

When do I need to start reporting Qualifying Earnings in STP?

From 1 July 2026 all employers will use qualifying earnings (QE) as the base to calculate SG amounts (replacing OTE). From 1 July 2026, employers will be required each payday through their Single Touch Payroll (STP) to report year-to-date amounts for:

• QE for each employee, and
• Super Liability for that employee.
• RESC (Reportable Employer Superannuation Contribution) continues to be permissible.

As an Employer, what should I do?

• Review the helpful ATO Payday Super Qualifying Earnings guide
• Your digital service provider will let you know when your software is ready to report QE. You can check with them to find out when their STP product will be updated. 
• You can also review your STP reporting. Make sure you’re lodging on time; and that your pay codes and employee details are correct.
