Hi Tracey H,
Thank you again for your reply.
I wonder if we are confusing teminology between us. I am already using STP1 with a local PC file, not using the cloud, and logging on line to process fortnightly payrolls which includes sending the details to ATO and on a monthly basis authorising MYOB to transfer superannuation. After these steps are completed, that only take a few minutes of Mobile Hotspot useage, I go "off line" whilst pocessing all other transactions. Is STP2 different to STP1 and requires my MYOB file to be located in the MYOB cloud, and cannot use a local PC file with temporary on-line access when payroll transactions are being processed? It is cloud storage that we have an issue with and the overheads it produces and requires.
Thanks in advance.
Hi 5sia7
An offline file is stored locally on your pc, an online file is stored in the cloud. In STP Phase 1 your company file didn't need to be online, you just needed an internet connection to send STP reports. In Phase 2 the ATO changed the security requirements which impacted how STP connects to the ATO. This means that to report STP in Phase 2 your company file must be online (stored in the cloud).
Please let me know if you need further help.
