How do I get approval to print my Payment Summaries on plain paper?

Customize the detail you need to see in Elite Payroll Software using preferences.

Elite Payroll Software provides you with two choices when printing Payment Summaries. If you wish, you can continue using the pink Payment Summary stationery provided by the ATO. You may however, have initial problems getting the first Payment Summary to line up.

The second option is to apply for Approval to Print Payment Summaries on Plain Paper. This allows you to print your Payment Summaries on plain paper - no more worries about trying to line up Payment Summaries. You then need to lodge the ATO copy electronically. Elite Payroll Software automates the whole process for you. You can also print the Payroll Software administrator's name on these Payment Summaries so you don't have to physically sign them!

To get approval, you must send a completed Application for Approval to Print Payment Summaries on Plain Paper to the ATO so that your company can be provided with an ATO Supplier number (previously called a Mnemonic number). You cannot print Payment Summaries on plain paper and send an EmpDupe file to the ATO until you have received the supplier number.
