Tax File Number Declaration

My understanding is that if we are using STP phase 2 we dont need to forward Tax File Number Declaration to the ATO.   Does this only happen if a new employee does the onboarding part through MYOB?...

Hi JessS 

 

You will need to get a TFN Declaration from the employee, you can do this manually or via MYOB's onboarding feature. 

 

Each time you report using STP Phase 2, all the relevant information from the TFN Declaration is sent to the ATO (whether you use MYOB's Onboarding feature or not). MYOB will use the setting you have set for this employee, eg TFN, Fulltime, tax table linked (resident, claiming threshold and whether has HELP debt) etc.
