Overview
The payroll platform uses your ATO settings when lodging a pay event or update event to your ATO portal. These details inform the ATO who is lodging these events for your organisation and provide them with the needed information to process your requests. You can select from three submission types and which one that is, depends on how your organisation submits lodgements to the ATO.
