MYOB Essentials, Australia only

Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a simple way to report your employees’ payroll information to the ATO and keep your business compliant. If you’ve subscribed to MYOB Essentials, you can start STP reporting now. There's no additional charges.

Single Touch Payroll Phase 2

STP Phase 2 is an expansion of the ATO's reporting requirements. To learn about what's changing, visit the ATO website. If you're already reporting via STP, you don't need to do anything right now. Your MYOB Essentials will be upgraded to a new platform in 2022, where you can begin your transition to STP Phase 2. MYOB has obtained a deferral from the ATO to 1 January 2023 allowing you time to make the move. We’ll keep you informed on the status of your upgrade, but in the meantime you can find out more about these changes.

Once you're set up, you'll send your employees' salary, tax and super info to the ATO after each pay. This means no more payment summaries at the end of the financial year. Instead, your employees can access their payroll information through the ATO's online service, MyGov.

Do I need to report via STP?

If you pay employees, you'll most likely need to report to the ATO via STP. But if you're not sure, check with the ATO.

Setting up STP

MYOB Essentials guides you through the setup process to make sure your payroll details meet the ATO requirements. You'll then set up a connection to the ATO.
