STP Amendment

Question

We migrated our payroll from MYOB AccountRight to Xero during the 2025–26 financial year. Xero has correctly lodged the full year payroll, including opening YTD balances from MYOB. However, the MYOB STP pay events are still appearing in the ATO, resulting in duplicate income on employee income statements.

The MYOB file no longer has an active STP Reporting Centre. When I click Payroll Reporting, it only displays the "Let's get you ready" setup screen instead of the STP Reporting Centre.

I need to withdraw or zero the historical MYOB STP lodgements without creating a new BMS ID or new STP registration.

What is the approved MYOB AccountRight process to achieve this?

Hi PSDA,

That sounds like one of those extra-fiddly STP migration situations. A good thing to check is the Xero STP setup, specifically whether the previous BMS ID from MYOB has been reported there. That’s what helps signal to the ATO that the Xero reporting is a continuation of the same payroll history, rather than a completely separate set of figures. If that piece hasn’t been carried through correctly, it can lead to the kind of duplicate income statement issue you’re seeing. If you’ve already checked that on the Xero side and it still hasn’t resolved the duplication, the next best step would be to contact the ATO directly so they can confirm how those historical lodgements should be handled from their end.
