Submitting an STP Update Event or Full File Replacement

Legacy KB ID: 5759

Question

I need to send an Update Event or Full File Replacement to the ATO for Single Touch Payroll (STP). How can I do this?

Answer

Update Event

When to use "Update Event"? An update event can be used to correct employee YTD figures where a change has been made to a prior employee pay event.

An Update Event can be used to:

  • Correct misclassifications where, for example, an item has been reported as Gross Payments where in fact it should have been reported as an Allowance.
  • Where the employee YTD data in the Payroll Systems doesn't match what has been reported to the ATO.

Full File Replacement

When to use "Full File Replacement"? A Full File Replacement gives you the ability to completely replace the latest STP submission you lodged successfully to the ATO when the submission was sent in error or contained significantly corrupt data.

A Full File Replacement:

  • Shouldn't be used for corrections
  • Can only be used to replace the last successful STP submission
  • Can't replace an Update Event (a new Update Event should be used in this case)
  • Cannot be used if employee payroll data has changed since the last STP submission you are replacing
