STP Set up

Question

We're moving from another payroll software provider to MYOB from 1 July 2025. We'll finalise STP for FY25 with the old provider but will be processing the first payroll of FY26 in MYOB.

We've notified the ATO MYOB software ID and moved onto step 6 Transfer BMS ID, but we are unsure if we should answer Yes or No for the question: "Transfer your BMS ID from another software. Has the business been reporting STP in another payroll software this financial year?"

Could someone please help with this?

Thank you

Hey @RubyphamAU,

Starting fresh with MYOB for the new financial year, nice move. For Step 6 in setting up STP, you’ll want to select ‘No’ when asked, "Has the business been reporting STP in another payroll software this financial year?" Since you’re kicking off with MYOB from July 1, 2025, and finalising FY25 STP reporting with your old provider, it’s all happening in separate payroll years. You’d only pick ‘Yes’ if you were switching to MYOB mid-financial year. If you need any more details or clarifications, there’s a handy link with additional info to keep things crystal clear!

Cheers,

Doreen
