Single Touch Payroll (STP)

[Linda1931]

I am currently using AccountRight Premier V19.14, what do I need to upgrade to?

Hi @Linda1931

I would recommend taking a look at the recent post on Single Touch Payroll (STP), which outlines where we stand with Single Touch payroll in the AccountRight Classic range.

Hi @Steven_M

There is a problem with your link.

Hi @Linda1931

An update to my STP post of last November, for AccountRight version 19 users, following recent advice from MYOB:

MYOB will NOT be offering an online STP reporting tool, for version 19 users.

Instead, those users who can are encouraged to move to AccountRight 2017.2 Online immediately, if they use the Payroll module and have more than 19 staff - as the ATO will require them to use Single Touch payroll software (STP) from 1 July 2018 (Employers with 19 or fewer staff have until 1 July 2019 to make the change).

For those version 19 users with 20 or more staff, who cannot currently move to version 2017.2 for technical reasons, the ATO has said they can have an extension until 31 May 2019 before they have to make the change.

The technical reasons cover features in version 19 that aren't yet in version 2017 - mainly the multi-currency feature (in the Premier and Enterprise editions, particularly "Trans Tasman" firms operating in both Australia and New Zealand), but also the negative inventory and multiple warehouse locations features (in Enterprise).

I understand MYOB will have most of these features in AR Premier 2018 or 2019, by that date.

Hi @gavin12345

I have correct that link, so it should be working as intended now. Although, I do see that @Kym__Yeoward has provided the necessary information in a post on this thread.
