How you receive your income statement
Your employer will provide you with your end of year statement as either:
- an income statement – if your employer reports to us through Single Touch Payroll (STP)
- a payment summary – if your employer is not yet reporting through STP they will continue to provide you with a payment summary by 14 July.
Your employer should let you know if you will receive an income statement or payment summary. You should talk to them if you are unsure.
There is no requirement for your employer to give you a payment summary if they report through STP. This information will be made available to you through ATO online services through myGov or the ATO app. If you don't have a myGov account, you will need to create a myGov account and link it to the ATO.
Most employers have until 14 July to finalise their data, they will let you know if there are any delays in the finalisation of your income statement.
If your income statement or payment summary information is incorrect, you should contact your employer (or employers). If they have made an error, they can usually correct it.
If you have more than one employer
If you have more than one employer, you may receive both an income statement and a payment summary. You will need to check that income from your payment summary prefills in your return. This information may be pre-filled for you or you might need to enter it manually.
To access a summary factsheet of the changes to accessing your payment summary, see Single Touch Payroll for employees.
Your income statement through ATO online services
If your employer is reporting through STP, you will receive an income statement. You can find your income statement in ATO online services through myGov or the ATO app.
Your income statement will show your year-to-date:
- salary and wages
- tax that has been withheld
- super.
You will need to wait until your employer marks your income statement as 'Tax ready' before you prepare and lodge your tax return. Most employers have until 14 July to finalise their data, they will let you know if there are any delays in the finalisation of your income statement.
It is important that you don't use any information that is not marked 'Tax ready' as your employer may finalise your income statement with different amounts. If you lodge before the statement is 'Tax ready', you may have to amend your tax return.
We will send a notification to your myGov inbox when all of your income statements are 'Tax ready'.
If after 31 July your income statement is not marked as 'Tax ready' in ATO online services, you will need to speak to your employer to find out when they will finalise your statement.
