Setting up an STP Intermediaries

When a third party, like a Tax Agent or Bookkeeper submits the STP reports on behalf of a customer, how to make this compliant?

Updated over a week ago

In Access WageEasy go to File, Company Details, Taxation, Single Touch Payroll

Note: No SSID is required as the STP information being sent to the ATO from Access WageEasy is being done via a Sending Service Provider (SSP).


The BMSID is generated by Access WageEasy which identifies the payroll system sending data to the ATO. For more information on Registered agents providing a payroll service review the ATO website

Entry of Intermediary details on Configuration, Taxation, Single Touch Payroll is for authorised tax agents with ABN and Tax Agent Number/Registered Agent Number (RAN) only. If the bookkeeper is the registered tax agent for the business, then this information needs to be populated and a different declaration produced.
​
By entering the Intermediary details, it will change the STP Declaration and allow for the entry of the authorised persons details to be entered before reporting to ATO.
