Transition from 2026 to 2027
Payroll submissions for 2027
You cannot include payment dates for 2026 and 2027 in the same payroll submission. It is important the correct year is included in the header on the payroll submission.
You should not file a payroll submission with a 2027 pay date until the 2027 Revenue Payroll Notification (RPN) is available.
You should not change an employee’s Employment ID from year to year.
Employer Reference Number
When making a payroll submission without a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN), it is mandatory to use an employer reference number. This reference number should not be changed from 2026 to 2027. You must also ensure that the individual’s name is not changed.
Once the PPSN is updated, you must include it along with the employer reference number on the next payroll submission. We will use the employer reference number and PPSN to match and link previous payroll submission details.
