Hi JANELLE
To report through STP, an AccountRight file needs to have a subscription assigned to it so that it can access the live services. So if you have two files that need to report STP figures then you will need two subscriptions. Do note that we offer discounts for additional subscriptions on the same serial number.
In terms of moving the employees from one file to another, with regards to STP there’s a couple of considerations to keep in mind. If you are going to enter in the employees pay history into the new file, you’ll need to zero out the employee’s YTD figures in the previous file before reporting a zero dollar pay to the ATO. This updates their figures to be zero so that when the first pay in the same payroll year is reported from the new file, that will bring through the pay history from the new file.
Hi Neil,
I already have 2 companys in the CLOUD, what is the cost to have another one in the Cloud so that STP reporting can happen. What is the process for this and what do I have to do for this to happen.?
If you could please advise.
many thanks

Hi JANELLE
If you have multiple online files under the same serial number, then generally speaking your invoice should have one subscription at full price and then the other subscriptions at the discounted price. Do note that we do run promotions from time to time so the price you have on the invoice may have changed.
If the employees are being transferred on the first on the new payroll year, then they would need to be finalized as normal in the old file as if they were going to continue in the old file. In the new file the employees would need to be set up and paid in the new file. Since this is a new payroll year there would be no payroll history that needs to be transferred over.

Hi JANELLE
If you wanted to put a third file on the cloud you would need to take out a subscription, which can be obtained by speaking with our phone based team. Once the subscription has been taken out then you can upload the file to the cloud and set up the other live services available to online files.
