When prompted to send your payroll information to the ATO, enter your details and click Send. Transferring your BMS ID lets the ATO know you've changed payroll software, and moves your employee's year-to-date payroll amounts under your new BMS ID at the ATO end. If you haven't already, make sure you've entered your employee's pay history for the current payroll year into AccountRight. This ensures your employees' year-to-date pay amounts matches what you've reported via STP. Your previous software BMS ID must be accepted by the ATO before you can process any pays in MYOB. You can check the status of the submission in the STP reporting centre from AccountRight (Payroll command centre > Payroll reporting > Payroll Reporting Centre > STP reports tab). The ATO typically accept STP submissions within the hour but it can take them up to 72 hours during peak periods. We also recommend accessing your AccountRight company file in a web browser to confirm your STP totals held by the ATO match what's in MYOB.

And that's it — you're done! You can now click Go to STP reporting where you can view your Single Touch Payroll reports. Or you can close the web browser and go back to using AccountRight.
