Odoo Payroll in Australia
Odoo Payroll is used across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane by businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected tools. As an Official Odoo Partner, Shyphan implements Odoo Payroll end to end - configuration, data migration, integration, training and support - on a fixed quote with milestone dates.
Every rollout is localised for Australia: 10% GST returns lodged to the ATO as a Business Activity Statement, AUD and multi-currency working, English interfaces, and Single Touch Payroll, PAYG and superannuation handled in payroll. That localisation is not a settings page - it is configured against your own transactions and tested before go-live.
Odoo Payroll does not run in isolation: it shares one database with the rest of Odoo, so the numbers your operational team works from and the numbers finance reports are the same records. An Australian business with clean data typically goes live in three to six weeks, and we tell you which case you are in before you commit.

Where Odoo Payroll is weak - and what we do about it
Odoo does not ship a certified payroll localisation for every country, and where it does not, the salary rules are built rather than downloaded. Complex retrospective adjustments need care.
How we handle it: We build and test the rules against real payslips before go-live, and tell you at scoping if your country needs that work.

What compliance in Australia means in practice
Australian compliance is unusually real-time. Payroll is reported to the ATO on or before every payday rather than at year end, and GST rides on the same Business Activity Statement as PAYG withholding, so a system that gets the tax codes wrong gets three things wrong at once.
| Obligation | What the rule is | What has to be configured |
|---|---|---|
| GST and the Business Activity Statement | GST is 10 per cent. Registration is compulsory once turnover reaches 75,000 dollars (150,000 for non-profits). The BAS reports GST, PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments together, monthly, quarterly or annually depending on your turnover. | Tax codes that distinguish GST-free, input-taxed and out-of-scope supplies, because the difference between them is what makes G11 and G14 on the BAS come out right. |
| Single Touch Payroll | Every pay run is reported to the ATO on or before payday, at the level of detail STP Phase 2 requires: disaggregated gross, income types, and country codes where they apply. | Pay categories mapped to STP Phase 2 classifications at setup, not re-mapped in the first EOFY when the numbers do not reconcile. |
| Superannuation guarantee | The superannuation guarantee rate is 12 per cent of ordinary time earnings, and under Payday Super it is paid at the same time as salary rather than quarterly in arrears. | Ordinary time earnings calculated per pay element, fund and member details held against the employee, and a payment file the clearing house accepts. |
| Taxable Payments Annual Report | Businesses in building and construction, cleaning, courier and road freight, IT and security services report payments to contractors on a TPAR, due 28 August. | Contractor payments tagged at entry with ABN and the amounts the TPAR asks for, so August is an export. |
| Company tax and franking | 25 per cent for base rate entities, 30 per cent otherwise, with the franking account tracked against dividends paid. | A franking account maintained in the ledger rather than reconstructed by the accountant each year. |
| Fair Work and record keeping | Employee records and pay slips must be kept for seven years, and pay slips issued within one working day of payday. | Pay slips generated and archived by the system, with award interpretation reflected in the pay rules rather than applied manually. |

We configure the system to produce what these returns ask for, and we test it against your own transactions before go-live. We are not tax agents: your accountant or tax adviser signs the return, and rates and thresholds change, so treat this as the shape of the work rather than advice. Last reviewed 15 September 2026.
