Tax File Declarations

Hi mgccc 

The primary development focuses recently for our development teams around the ATO space as been around adding the Payroll Reporting Centre (STP) and allowing users to file their Business Activity Statements (BAS) directly through to the ATO online. As work is ongoing within those spaces, the ability to lodge tax file number declarations (TFNs) is not something that is actively being worked on at this time to my knowledge. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that is not something that will be included in the future, just that we don't have any immediate plans for it.

Hi  Paul,

just spoken to ATO re Tax File Declaration and they are say that there should be a report that we can send through Payroll reporting, but i can't find this on MYOB can you help with this? This before we start to pay our new employee.

thanks

This is part of STP reporting Phase 2 which is not in operation until Jan next year

May be available  earlier.

I though the lodgement of TFND through STP Phase 2 was a definite.  That it was part of the Phase 2 STP implementation.  Could someone please confirm for me?  thank you in advance.

Hi GayleHEH 

There are a number of changes being rolled out with regards to STP Phase 2. In addition to the factsheet that PaulBihet  has provided, ATO: Expanding Single Touch Payroll (Phase 2) offers further assistance with those up-and-coming changes.

To directly answer your enquiry, I understand that TFN declarations will no longer be required as that will be included with this STP Phase 2 rollout.
