Who needs to complete these steps?Each person who processes payroll for your business needs to complete these steps. If they don't have access to your company file, set them up. The steps you'll be prompted to complete depend on who you are and what steps have been completed already. Only the person setting up Single Touch Payroll will need to connect to the ATO for STP. Additional users will need to complete other steps to add themselves as declarers before they can send payroll information to the ATO.

If your business has previously reported via STP in the current payroll year using another MYOB or non-MYOB payroll software, when you set up STP in MYOB you must notify the ATO of the BMS ID of your previous software. Otherwise your employees' year-to-date (YTD) payroll information will be reported twice to the ATO, and no-one wants that...  Image Added
