Further information

How do I use the Direct Debit payment method?

To use the Direct Debit payment method, we need to make sure you are a registered employer with the ATO. This can be done via a successful STP (Single Touch Payroll) event. If you have not submitted a successful STP event, this will result in the following error occurring when submitting the super payment and you will need to select another payment option to continue: “Prior to using the direct debit payment option, a pay event must be successfully lodged via Single Touch Payroll. Please select another payment option.”.
