The STP gateway that shouldn't be this cheap.
KeyPay charged $4–$6 per employee, per month. Employment Hero bought KeyPay and killed simple lodgement. So we built what they took away — then priced it like infrastructure. From $9/mo. Unlimited employees.
How much you'd pay on every other STP gateway
A 100-employee small business sends fortnightly pay events. Here's what that costs.
$4/emp/mo minimum across 100 staff. KeyPay’s simple lodgement was killed at acquisition.
Bundled into a Xero subscription. $5/employee adds up fast.
Contact sales for pricing. Web-1.0 docs. Multi-week onboarding.
Up to 3 ABNs. Unlimited employees. Unlimited STP lodgements. Free up to 4 employees.
We're a fraction of the price because STP lodgement is plumbing. We don't need $500/mo from you — we need your pay events to clear the ATO, and the margin on that is near-zero.
Everything you need for STP Phase 2
From employer setup to EOFY finalisation — Beeswax STP covers the full lodgement lifecycle.
Employer & employee management
ABN-validated employer profiles, encrypted TFN storage, address, super, and tax declarations — all in one place.
Disaggregated pay events
Capture STP Phase 2 line items: gross, OTE, allowances, leave, lump sums, super, and PAYG — with helpful validation as you go.
Direct ATO submission
PAYEVNT.0004 XBRL generation, ebMS3/AS4 signing via LS-ATO, and async lodgement to EVTE or production endpoints.
YTD running totals
Automatic year-to-date accumulation per employee, drill-down by income type, and EOFY finalisation in a single click.
OSF-aligned security
Mandatory MFA, full audit logging, encryption at rest, and an OWASP ASVS L2 self-assessment to back it up.
One product, three kinds of buyer
We don't care how you run payroll. You enter pay events, we lodge them to the ATO.
Employers
