The final step to set up Single Touch Payroll is to connect to the ATO. Before you can connect, you'll need:

to connect to the internet (your AccountRight company file doesn't need to be online)
to sign in to your MYOB account. If you don't have an MYOB account, you'll need to get one
a Software ID (SID). This is provided in your software as you complete the steps below.

Learn how to connect to the ATO

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.

Go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Reporting.
Click Connect to ATO.

If this button says Payroll Reporting Centre, you may have already gone through the connect to the ATO process. If you need to give someone else access to STP, see adding another user as a declarer for Single Touch Payroll reporting.
If prompted, click Check Payroll Details to fix any issues with your payroll setup.
Follow the prompts to complete the ATO connection. See the procedures below relevant for your role in the business for guidance.

2. Follow the steps to notify the ATO you're using MYOB for payroll reporting. If you:
- - don't have an Access Manager account, choose Option 1 to call the ATO - this is an automated service, which should only take a few minutes.
