STP Direct Service Transition Guide

This guide provides comprehensive information regarding the transition to the STP Direct Service offered by Pronto Software. The STP Direct Service simplifies the process of reporting payroll information directly to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) by allowing customers to submit STP pay events without the need for third-party services. The document outlines the operational framework of the service, including its security measures, which ensure that payroll data is not stored and is transmitted securely to the ATO. It details the requirements for customers to register for the service, including the need for unique usernames, passwords, and software subscription IDs. The guide also discusses the pricing structure, which introduces a fixed monthly fee based on the number of employees, contrasting with the previous data-consumption model. Additionally, it addresses the minimal impact on existing Pronto Xi Payroll software and the support available for customers during the transition process.
