URGENT HELP - SBR - Change of ATO Branch Numbers for STP

Help! Please,

The business that i work for is currently undergoing SBR - Small Business Restructuring.  

As a consequence our ATO Branch number changed from 001 to 004 on the 15 June.

Therefore, all pays processed after the 15 June - need to be allocated to new branch 004.

 

Unfortunately, I was not made aware of the changes until after 01 July 2025.

Therefore, two pays for 2024-2025 have been entered to the incorrect ATO Branch of 001

 

I have been advised to delete all of the pays entered to 001.

And re-enter to 004, for all pays processed since the 15 June 2025. 

 

Which i have done.

To do this - the only thing i did was change the Branch number in the MYOB - STP reporting (as advised by MYOB support).

 

Unfortunately, they are not showing in ATO Portal at Branch 004 ???

So perhaps i have not done this correctly.

 

At the moment - my STP 2024-2025 figures are a mess - with two pays missing - and staff annoyed because they cannot lodge their returns. 

Our Accountant has no idea how to fix it and the SBR Practitioners do not know either. 

I called MYOB and i don't think the nice person i spoke to really understood what i needed to do. 

I tried calling ATO and ..."they are experiencing a high demand of calls" and too busy for me just now 🙄

 

Perhaps - someone has been through this process and can point me in the right direction for correcting this mess.

 

Thank you,

 

Jo-Anne

    Hi JoJo_S,

     

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop! You're not doing anything wrong. If you're able to enter the branch number under Company Information and it's not showing up on the ATO portal, it could be one of those things the ATO can sort. 

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen

    Hello Genreve,

     

    Thank you for your reply.

    The main problem I have is with changing the Branch number.  I can't seem to find any clear direction for that.  I followed what MYOB support told me - (Changing our Branch in STP from 001 to 004) and did a test pay. This has NOT shown up on the ATO portal anywhere?  I am just not sure what i am doing wrong

    Hi Jo-Anne, 

     

    Sounds like you've been working out a solution for quite a while now. It's likely you might’ve missed finalising the values before moving on to the next branch number, that’s a really easy step to overlook! Here is a discussion with someone who had a similar issue that should help you sort out how to match up those amounts with the right branch numbers.

     

    Regards,

    Genreve
