What causes this message?

This is usually because the ABN you entered when you went through the check payroll details process, is not the same one you entered when going through the Connect to the ATO process.

How to fix it

If the ABN in Company information is incorrect

  1. Enter the correct ABN to Company information (Payroll command centre > Payroll Reporting > Company Information).
  2. Continue to process pay runs as you normally would.

The correct YTD amounts will sent to the ATO next pay run.

If the ABN you entered during the Connect to the ATO process is incorrect

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and choose Payroll reporting > Payroll Reporting Centre.
  2. If prompted, sign in using your MYOB account details (email address and password).
  3. Click the ATO settings tab.
  4. Click STP settings.
  5. Follow the prompts to set up Single Touch Payroll again.

Make sure you have your ABN details handy.

Single Touch Payroll (STP) is an ATO initiative to streamline payroll reporting. You’ll be able to report payroll and super information directly to the ATO when you process a pay run in AccountRight (from either online or desktop company files).

As a result of this change, you may no longer need to complete payment summaries at the end of the financial year as your employees' payroll information will be available to them through the government's online service, myGov.

Do I need to set up Single Touch Payroll?

Do a headcount of your total employees as at 1 April 2018. This is a headcount – not the full time equivalent (FTE) number. The ATO website explains more about this headcount.

Did you have 20 or more employees on 1 April 2018?

Yes

You need set up and start reporting using Single Touch Payroll.

No

You don’t need to use STP reporting now, it's only optional.
