Single Touch Payroll Phase 2

When I called back in May this year 2022, I was told by someone in MYOB, that they are looking at doing single touch payroll Phase 2 off line as we do for normal wages and submitting.  Is this still ...

    Morning Teresa,

    As I am only a user of MYOB AccountRight Plus AU 2022.9.0 / Build 2022.9.24.7350 , I cant really advise you.

     

    However I can say that I was offline yesterday, processed my whole pay, went online and sent it to the ATO, then went offline immediately after.

     

    I checked this morning and everything seems correct.

     

    I can say that I have prepared for STP2 with all the changes from STP1 to STP2 done.

     

    Its a bummer that Myob is not prepared to allow us to do the same (offline processing, online for upload only) for STP2.

Hi, You didn't really answer the question.

 

We too do not wish to be online with everything.  We wish to own our own data; and being online give MYOB the ownership - this is because once the subscription is finished the data disappears.

 

We too wish to just upload the completed wages to the ATO.

 

So how do we upload on STP2 without being online with everything?

Hello Ele 

 

You can continue to use STP phase 1, to report using STP phase 2, your file does need to be online. 

 

Online cloud storage is included with the MYOB subscription. 

 

I have attached a Help Article on putting your file online which has steps on the different ways to accomplish this.

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    However we do not wish to go online.

    We do not wish to use MYOB online storage.

     

    We wish to keep ownership of our data.  When you go online, you loose ownership  eg should we cancel then  after 30 days our data is no longer available to us.

     

    We ONLY want to upload the STP2 to the ATO.

     

    We have had MYOB since the days it was supplied on disk.

      Hello Ele 

       

      To upload STP phase 2 data to the ATO your file needs to be online. 

       

      When you upload the file online you retain ownership of your data. Providing some more context to the scenario you have used an example. If you cancel your subscription while your file is offline, we always recommend that you take a backup of the file, which then you are able to restore locally and continue having access after the subscription is canceled. 

      I hope the above information has quashed any worries about the ownership of data.

        WHY do we have to put our company file online. when we only want to upload to the ATO?

         

        What is Myobs reasons for not making the STP2 upload to the ATO the same as the STP1 upload to the ATO ?
