"Your authority has been requested to approve the lodgement of the following finalisation event to the ATO:Pay Event ID: XXXXX" How do you approve this?

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

The standing authority email is usually sent to the employer/client if you've set up your Single Touch Payroll reports to the ATO as a registered tax/BAS agent. To check your ATO settings: 

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on Payroll Settings.
3. Click on ATO Settings.

From here the steps differ slightly if you are setting up as the employer, as a registered Tax/BAS Agent, or as an intermediary for multiple employing entities.

Furthermore, if you were able to approve the authority email and able to successfully lodge your STP. No further actions needed from your end.
