TitleBefore adding a declarer

Which steps do I follow?

How you add a declarer depends on whether you're set up for STP Phase 1 or STP Phase 2. If you set up STP after mid-December 2021, you're likely on STP Phase 2.

The easiest way to check is to look in one of your wage categories:

  1. Sign in to your company file and go to the Payroll command centre > Payroll Categories.
  2. Click the zoom arrow Image Added to open a wage category.
  3. Check how many ATO Reporting Category fields there are.
    1. If there are two ATO Reporting Category fields (and a message about "STP Phase 2 is coming", you're on STP Phase 1 — which is fine!
    2. If there's only one ATO Reporting Category field, your file is set up for STP Phase 2.
