Understanding the service
Payroll, member identifiers, wages and contribution information are reconciled for the agreed filing period. Contributions and any additional charges are not the service fee.
Prepare a period-specific payroll file
Check the member identifiers, wage basis, joining and exit details and relevant adjustments. Compare the payroll with the filing schedule before submission. Investigate duplicate or inactive records rather than removing them simply to force a total to match.
Retain filing and payment records
Keep the prepared schedule, acknowledgement and payment evidence together. A submitted file and a paid contribution are separate facts. Review corrections and outstanding periods explicitly; contribution amounts and statutory charges are not the ACS preparation fee.
Preparation checklist
Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.
- Existing registration and account details
- Records for the reporting period
- Previous filings and acknowledgements
- Authorisation and supporting financial schedules
Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.
From enquiry to agreed work
- Share the requirement and relevant reporting period.
- ACS reviews the records and confirms the scope and charges.
- Preparation, review and authorised filing or delivery.
- Receive completion records and the next-step checklist.
A checked payroll filing file with retained submission records. Timing depends on the supplied records, applicable process and external review. No authority decision or processing date is guaranteed.
ACS professional fee
Government fees, taxes, provider charges and additional professional work are separate unless the written quote says otherwise. The listed fee is not a grant, tax, contribution or licence payment. Online payments remain inactive.
Frequently asked questions
Can a previous month file be reused unchanged?
Only after checking the actual payroll and changes for the new period. Blind reuse can miss employee changes.
Does filing support include contribution money?
No. Contributions, interest or other statutory charges are separate from the professional fee.
What does the listed professional fee include?
The ACS fee covers only the work confirmed in your quote. Government fees, taxes, provider or certification-body charges and additional professional work are separate unless expressly included. Booking does not activate an online payment.
What should I share for the first discussion?
Start with your requirement and the relevant period or project. The callback form needs only your name and mobile number. Share identity, banking or financial documents only through the agreed private workflow.
