Delete Previous Financial Year data

You will be unable to delete any data less than 8 years old as the ATO requires payroll information to be kept for a minimum of 7 years. If you decide to continue with deleting any data, please ensure the appropriate reports are printed and back ups created for storage. Regardless of the data being deleted, you will be able to view this historical information by Opening an Archive.
