Before you can lodge pay runs to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll (STP), you must register Myaccountant as your STP-enabled software with the ATO. There are two methods to complete this registration.

    • Software ID: Provided within Myaccountant under Settings > ATO Settings.
    • Software Provider ABN: 81 610 976 719 (Myaccountant's ABN).
    • Your business ABN: Your organisation's ABN.
  4. The operator will link Myaccountant to your ABN for STP reporting.
  5. Confirmation is usually immediate. You can begin lodging STP events right away.
