Paying Contractors Via Payroll
To comply with SAMEDAY SUPER for Contractors, XERO PAYROLL AUSTRALIA should have the capabilities, similar to XERO PAYROLL NEW ZEALAND, where contractors can be paid via payroll where GST is captured and superannuation can paid.

We need Contractors and Voluntary Agreements in Xero Payroll. Filling out PAYG Payment Summaries is ridiculous. While the ATO says reporting contractor payments is not mandatory, the ATO does say that we can choose to report contractor payments through STP: "If you do choose to report for these workers, you'll need to report both QE and super liability" See https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/super-for-employers/payday-super/payday-super-resources/explaining-qualifying-earnings
ATO gives us a choice to report contractor earnings through STP. But Xero doesn't allow us to do so (for Voluntary agreements). Please give us the choice to do report Contractors on Voluntary Agreements under Xero STP so we can have a one stop digital stop for all our accounting needs!
Please and thank you.
