ELMO Talent Management Software, an Australia and New Zealand provider of cloud-based human resources (HR) software, claims to be the first unified HR software provider to integrate with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) by offering paperless electronic submission of Tax File Number (TFN) Declarations through its onboarding solution.

The ELMO ATO integration further automates the onboarding process, increasing the responsiveness and cost-effectiveness of the HR team, as well as improving the employee experience. Over 500 Australian employers on the ELMO platform can now submit TFN Declarations online, as opposed to printing and posting forms to the ATO.

Standard Business Reporting (SBR) is built into the ELMO onboarding solution making it SBR-enabled. SBR is a standard approach to online or digital record-keeping that was introduced by the Australian Government in 2010 to simplify business reporting obligations.  

Danny Lessem, CEO of ELMO Talent Management Software, said, “We are continually developing our software to make HR administration more efficient for our clients. The ELMO ATO integration expedites the HR onboarding process through the digital lodgement of TFN Declaration forms, saving time, ensuring data accuracy using inbuilt checks, and immediately linking new employees to the employer in the ATO database.”

“Previously, only accounting or payroll software packages had the capability to lodge TFN Declarations online. Other HR onboarding technology only provides the electronic form to capture TFN Declaration information which still needs to be mailed to the ATO. This new arrangement with the ATO helps ELMO clients reduce manual processing and eliminate paperwork,” added Lessem.
