I have been looking into STP Phase 2 and when i click on get started in the payroll reporting it says that we need to be online.
We dont use MYOB online. Do we have to move online to be able to transition to Phase 2? and is it mandatory?

Hi JessS
Thanks for your post. In order to set up and report STP Phase 2 company files do need to be online. This is due to security changes with the ATO and how STP Phase 2 needs to integrate with the ATO. The Help Article, Put your company file online, has information on how to do this.
Please let me know if you need further help.

HI JessS
With respect, post by Tracey_H should read 'and how MYOB's STP Phase 2 product needs to integrate with the ATO' not 'and how STP Phase 2 needs to integrate with the ATO.'
STP Phase 2 does not need your file online, there are many offline STP Products for Phase 2. MYOB has decided to build their STP Phase 2 in such as way as to require all users to put their files online. This is not an ATO directive, just a MYOB choice.
See this post for more detailed discussion including option to report STP Phase 2 without having your file online.
