STP 2 for MYOB Essentials users

[JohnE]

Hello MYOB community. Our business is using MYOB essentials. we received a letter from ATO advising us to use STP Phase 2. I checked the Payroll Reporting Tab, I can't see the notification that the video resources is referring to so we can start using STP 2.

I attached a snippet from the video from MYOB Learning.

I just want to confirm with MYOB if there's an action needed on our end.

Thank,

JohnE

Hi @JohnE 

With the up-and-coming deadline of 1st January for STP v2, we do encourage our customers to start transitions to STP v2 as soon as possible. Check our Move to STP Phase 2 before the 1 January 2023 deadline for information on moving.

In your case, looking at your account you are using our Original MYOB Essentials platform i.e. the Dashboard would look similar to the following. 

As such, the information you require relating to STP v2 is below:

We’ve been working with the ATO and have been granted an extension to the 1 January deadline, so you'll have time to move to the new platform and begin STP Phase 2 reporting. You now have until 31 March 2023 to report your first STP Phase 2 pay run.

This extension is only for users still on the original MYOB Essentials platform. If you have been migrated to the newer platform the deadline is 1 January 2023.

Thanks, @Steven_M ! Can you please give me clarity on this?

Do we have to move/upgrade from Original MYOB Essentials to a new platform which is the Latest MYOB Essentials?

OR

There will be no action needed for us until March 2023, and MYOB will automatically prompt us (notify us on our dashboard) to move to STP Phase 2?

I'm pretty new to this community and really appreciate your patience in addressing my queries. Thank you!

Regards, John

Hi @JohnE 

We are in the process of moving our Original MYOB Essentials customers to the Newer MYOB Essentials (which allows for STP v2). As a result, those customers that are on the Original MYOB Essentials, as you are according to our records, can use the deferral we do have in place with the ATO for STP 2 while we get you migrated to that newer platform. This deferral is for the Original MYOB Essentials platform users only and allows you to have until 31st March 2023 to be STP compliant.
