Switch to STP Phase 2 Email
I received an email subject "Switch to STP Phase 2".
The email says that STP1 Phase 1 support will end early 2025.
We use a local file with MYOB Accountright and complete our STP obligations (phase 2) independently of MYOB.
The email warns about a whole lot of things we wont be able to do if we do not move to STP2 (which if course we are using - just not with MYOB).
I just want to check that the only change is that MYOB will not complete STP1 reporting.
I'd also like to know if MYOB has made public any plans to end offline file/application support.
Hi Lucky_Man,
We are encouraging all users to transition to STP Phase 2 because STP Phase 1 will soon be switched off. This means that after this period, it will no longer facilitate reporting though Phase 1 and transitioning to Phase 2 ensures compliance with updated payroll reporting requirements set by the ATO. Please see this link.
At this stage, MYOB hasn't announced plans to end support for offline (local) files or applications. However, we generally recommend using online files to take advantage of enhanced features, such as automated updates and compliance tools.
Regards,
Sai
