ATO system shut down

ATO system shut down

The annual close-down at the ATO is from 12.00 noon AEDT on Tuesday 24th December 2019 until 6.00 am on Thursday 2nd January 2020.

The service outage affects all inbound services including Single Touch Payroll (STP) and Tax File Number Declarations. During this time you can carry on as per normal lodging your STP pay events in Readysell Payroll. We will queue up any/all submissions made and send them to the ATO when service resumes.

The only impact you will experience is a delay in receiving a response from the ATO about your pay event. Please note, Tax File Number Declarations will fail to lodge – you will have to wait and lodge these on or after Thursday 2nd January 2020.
