You can use the STP Update to report STP for one, multiple, or all employees at any point during the year. You might complete an STP Update:
To send corrected data after a Pay Event Fails
To verify that there are no Validation errors in preparation for End of Year
Important: Ensure that Final Event is not ticked before you report this Event. When you report events with Final Event ticked, this marks the employee's Income Statement in MyGov as Tax Ready, indicating to the employee they can process their Tax Returns. You should only tick Final Event when you have completed everything required for the employee in the Financial Year.
