From 1 July 2019 all employers will need to comply with what is referred to as Single Touch Payroll (STP) - unless they have an exemption. For more information about STP, please visit the ATO website here.

MYOB refused to add STP support for v19 and are instead forcing users to upgrade to AR2024 - which also requires an expensive subscription. AR2024 is not suitable for many users due to a number of design flaws. Many who upgraded soon reverted back to v19.

We continued to receive requests from users who wanted to comply with STP without having to upgrade to AR2024. As a result, in late 2018 we commenced working with Namich to build a solution (STP Creator) for Classic MYOB users (any v19 version or earlier).

By the end of April 2019 STP Creator was whitelisted by the ATO, a Product ID had been issued, and the program was released for sale on 1 May 2019. The first STP Report was lodged on the same day. By end July 2019 there were over 1000 users lodging STP Reports, this is well beyond our original expectations.

STP Creator works on any Windows version of MYOB® since 2002, from Accounting Plus v13 to the latest v19.16 and even with AR2024.

STP Creator automates the collection of the STP data for upload to the ATO directly from the software. The program will extract payroll data directly from a MYOB® company file. Once setup, regular reporting will take minutes after each pay for minimal cost.

For full details visit the Namich website here. Namich are offering all users a free 45 day trial, so you can fully test before purchasing.
