Ok and how do I know that I'm on STP Phase 2? I've completed the new drop down under payroll categories under ATO Reporting Category Phase 2. Is there anything else I need to do / check ?
Should this now report to the ATO correctly without having to ldoge a TFN if I get staff to do the onboarding through Myob? Is this the same as if they complete these details through Myob Team? As the employee is entering the information themselves so it is their declaration?
And if for some reason they can't complete via Myob Team or onboarding form I assume I still need to prepare hard copy form?
Thanks
Hi BalmoralPnC,
I've been trying to find anwers to questions like yours, and others, with little success, and little help from MYOB.
But since MYOB haven't replied to you, from what I read at the below link, I think I can help you determine if your MYOB is on STP Phase 2 yet. (But honestly, I haven't seen that any MYOB customer is on STP Phase 2 yet, two months after it's commencement. I think MYOB applied for the deferral from the ATO becasue they aren't ready. And they are framing the deferal as a benefit to their customers, when really we would benefit from STP Phase 2 being impemented for all of us on 1 January 2022.)
Payroll > Payroll Categories
Open one of the Payroll Categories from the Payroll Category List window.
In the Wages Information window that opens, if you see a message that says, "STP Phase 2 is coming", and two ATO Reporting Cetegories instead of one, then apparently you are not on STP Phase 2 yet.
Personally, with so many questions unanswered, it seems too confusing and risky to use Employee Self-Onboarding at this stage. We'll have to wait for them to implement and support it properly. While I'm on a roll, I also don't see anywhere MYOB letting us know that our employees will be presented with advertising from super funds during their on-boarding process, which I find duplicitous.

Hi ELC-Leo BalmoralPnC - yes, you're right - you can tell if you're on STP Phase 2 by loking at one of your wage, super or deduction payroll categories. If you see the "STP Phase 2 is coming" message, you're still on STP Phase 1.
Any business who set up STP from mid-December 2021 wil be reporting through STP Phase 2. But existing businesses will be prompted to move to STP Phase 2 in the coming weeks. Look out for a prompt in your STP Payroll Reporting Centre.
Once a buisness is reporting ia STP Phase 2, TFN details will be sent to the ATO when you process your payroll - so no need to manully submit a TFN.
