Hi heidi84,
The good news is, you still don’t need to lodge those first two pay runs separately. In MYOB Business, STP also works on year‑to‑date (YTD) totals, so once STP is set up, the first successful STP submission for this payroll year (your 3rd pay run) sends the YTD figures for all pays in that year to the ATO, including those first two runs, as long as they’re recorded in the same file and payroll year. To double‑check in MYOB Business:
- Go to Payroll > Single Touch Payroll reporting.
- Make sure you’re on the correct Payroll year at the top.
- Open the latest Accepted STP submission.
- Check the YTD amounts on the right for each employee and confirm they include all 3 pay runs.
If the YTD figures are short, you can:
- Go back to Payroll > Single Touch Payroll reporting,
- Click Send update event,
- Select the affected employees (or all, if you’re not sure) and submit. This pushes the correct YTD totals to the ATO without re‑doing the pays.
The only exception is if those two pays are from a previous payroll year before STP was turned on. The ATO won’t accept those via STP and your tax/BAS agent or the ATO can help with how to report those manually instead.
