Update TFN Declaration choices via STP2
Hi, I have a new employee that has chosen the wrong option during self-onboarding (No Tax Free Threshold instead of Tax Free Threshold) - how do you update this correctly via STP2, do I need to get a...

I'm confused by this. Aren't we supposed to get something signed by the employee before we correct it? I had this same thing happen and I send an "update details" request. Apparently there was no info to update about TFN Declaration Form.
Hi ShelleyHilan
Yes you are required to get a new TFN Declaration from the employee - however you do not need to send it to the ATO - update the details on the employee card and the new details will be sent via your next STP2 report.
An employee can provide a new TFN Declaration when ever they like - aside from errors, circumstances do change. However I suspect MYOB's onboarding process does not allow more than one. Once 'boarded' the employee is no longer required to 'onboard' - perhaps MYOB needs a TFN Dec change procedure as well? Only kidding - I don't suggest this, I and many others would prefer they fixed all existing issues before adding more bells.

Thanks gavin12345,
So far the only solution I have seen for this is "update it manually on the card file and it will be updated via th STP report". You are the first person that has agreed that you need to get the new TFN Declaration. Oh well, back to the manual process.
