Payday super with a WPN

Hey MK2021​ 

The current MYOB setup process does not support WPN-only STP registration/submission; it expects an Australian Business Number (ABN). The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) exemption for WPN holders continues until 30 June 2033. From 1 July 2026, WPN holders who choose to report through STP must lodge via an authorised representative, such as a registered tax or BAS agent. More information can be found on this page. 

Hey samtoot79,

You’ve laid out your client’s situation really clearly. You can still use MYOB for payroll with a WPN, and for now you’ll need to keep paying super manually while MYOB works on adding WPN support.

Cheers,

Doreen

Hi Doreen_P​ 

Could you clarify what you meant by "paying super manually"? Does it mean employers pay superfunds directly by EFT/Bpay, without using a clearing house? 

Thanks.

Hi SEC232, 

Thanks for clarifying. What Doreen_P means by "paying super manually" is that you pay it outside of MYOB Pay Super using a SuperStream compliant option, like the ATO SBSCH while it is still open, another compliant clearing house, or the fund’s employer portal, then you just record that payment in MYOB software.

So it is a manual process for you, but it still has to go through a compliant channel, not just a random EFT or BPAY direct from internet banking.

Regards,

Hi Amanda, could you please advise if MYOB supports WPN holders if they want to start voluntarily reporting via STP? Where the STP settings asks for an ABN, it appears that I can't put 00 in front of the WPN and proceed. Thanks!
