Overview
In order to meet your STP reporting obligations - it is necessary to notify the ATO that you are using ZonePayroll. You will need to do this for each business entity (I.e ABN or Branch) that you run Payroll for using our software. The process should take less than 5 minutes to complete online.
Before you get started, you will need the following:
- A login to the ATO's Access Manager - this includes an Administrator myID or an ABN connected to your myGov account. For more information see ATO Online Services > Access Manager
- Zone Payroll Details - Infinet Cloud Solutions Pty Ltd (27 146 064 762)
- Your Software ID - this is a unique number that you'll find on your License record. See Finding your Software ID below
Once you have the above ready then continue onto the ATO's instructions on how to notify them of a hosted SBR software server.
Finding your Software ID
The Software ID is a 10-digit number unique to your NetSuite account and Zone installation. The ATO requires knowledge of your Software ID to authorize STP transmissions sent to them. Your Software ID is not public knowledge and therefore, if recorded, should be kept in a safe place. However, there is no reason to record your Software ID as it will not change and will always be available in your NetSuite account when ZonePayroll is installed.
Multiple Subsidiaries
If you have Multiple Subsidiaries setup in NetSuite, the Software ID will be the same across all subsidiaries.
To locate your Software ID:
- Log into NetSuite.
- If required, switch into role to Administrator or a Payroll Administrator role.
- From the menu, select Payroll Administrator > Payroll Setup > View/update License
- Your License details, including the Software ID will be displayed
- Notify the ATO of ZonePayroll and your Software ID as per the linked instructions below.
