Who needs to complete these steps?

Only the person setting up Single Touch Payroll will need to connect to the ATO and notify them that they're using MYOB software for STP.

Additional users will need to complete other steps to add themselves as declarers before they can send payroll information to the ATO. Learn more about adding another user as a declarer for Single Touch Payroll reporting.
