Off Line Files

Is anyone else out there annoyed by being forced to put the company file online to comply with single tough payroll phase 2?  

Reasons to not have online include, own server works perfectly fine (except for phase 2), unreliable internet, cyber security, insurance premiums less with files on our own server, myob online failures. 

  • Hi Windolf 

    At the time Phase 2 was introduced, there was a lot of annoyance, complaints, requests for MYOB to change their decision - all to no avail. Most relented and went online. Some stayed offline and used other STP solutions such as the low cost STP Creator to comply with STP Phase 2. The advantage with STP Creator is it was specifically developed for MYOB (inc AR2025) and reads your payroll data from the offline company file and sends data directly to the ATO. Other solutions require you to re-enter the payroll - so more work and risk of error.
