I have figured out that I will save $8 in stamps each year if I don't have to send in IAS forms. What I did work out was that most of those companies are actually using another company again for the data exchange with the government. This is the list the ATO provides to help one choose https://www.ato.gov.au/business/single-touch-payroll/in-detail/low-cost-single-touch-payroll-solutions/ This is the complete ATO list https://api.gov.au/productregister/ This is an example of a company which actually interfaces with the ATO https://www.ozedi.com.au/products-and-services/ebms3-as4/ It actually has more information on its website than most of the others combined. Incidentally, I did sign up with Payroller which appeared to be as basic as possible, although I have to provide a fictitious number of hours each week I work to make the system produce an output. After I have registered the choice with the ATO I will be able to make it work and see if it is appropriately functional.
