Further information

Your income statement for [Employing Entity Name] for the financial year ending June 30, 2023, is now available.

You can access your income statement via ATO online services through your myGov account. If you do not already have a myGov account, it is easy to create. Click here for instructions on how to do this.

To clarify, an income statement differs from a payment summary. We are no longer required to provide you with a payment summary, as we have been reporting your payroll data for the financial year through Single Touch Payroll (STP).
