How to enable STP lodgement with the ATO
The client will need access to the business ATO management portal.
Go to:
SprintPay > Business > Payroll Settings > ATO Settings > Enable Electronic Lodgement
Then follow the setup prompts and instructions on-screen.
Who should complete the ATO setup?
This should be completed by someone with the correct ATO access for the business. This is usually the accountant, director, or authorised payroll person.
If this is not completed, STP lodgement may not work.
What is the BMS ID?
The Business Management Software ID uniquely identifies the business to the ATO and is included in STP data reported to the ATO.
If the client has additional employing entities, each entity may have its own BMS ID.
If the client has already lodged STP during the same financial year using another payroll system, they may have the option to use the previous payroll software’s BMS ID as part of the transition setup.
