the ATO however, further information can be gathered from Mike Behling (MYOB), Michael Wright (Sage) and Kelvin Newton (Xero), if required. 09/05 – 06 The ATO to send members reminder communications to developers on the compression for BPRP deploying into production on Saturday 27 May 2017 – one in the next few days and another, ahead of the deployment date to ensure they are aware etc. Craig Woodburn Closed 23 May 2017: Sent to on Monday 22 May 2017 for immediate publishing. Keeping open until Saturday 27 May to confirm there are no issues. 9 May 2017: The ATO to issue reminder communications – the first in the coming days and again, head of production deployment on 27 May 2017. 26/04 - 01 The ATO to review the error statistics report for PLS. currently, it does not contain the same type of detailed information on each type of error (i.e. how often an error happens) that was available for ELS and it does not capture the same year-to-date figures. Chris Thorne Craig Woodburn Closed 6 June 2017: The ATO advised DSPs that this item is already on the backlog however, due to Tax Time priorities it won’t be actioned until after 1 July 2017. A workaround is already in place – DSPs were asked to discuss this with their Account Managers. This issue will now continue to be progressed through existing BAU issue resolution processes. 23 May 2017: Members were advised that although this is on the work plan it is still a couple of months away due to other priorities (e.g. Tax Time, system stability etc.). MYOB requested that the ATO review how reports are sent out to DSPs as they are currently too big for the email system to handle. Craig Woodburn agreed to amend the current delivery mechanism to fix this issue in the meantime until the larger reporting review / update can be actioned. 9 May 2017: The ATO confirmed that due to other priorities in the past fortnight (i.e. SuperStream issues) this issue remains open. Developers highlighted the importance of this report (and
This action item was re-opened, Andrew pursuing how to progress. 2 September 2016: The proposed meeting did not happen due to availability of some ATO leaders. Instead it is planned that senior ATO leaders will meet individually with software developers during September. 09/08 – 02 Jacqui and SIPO to coordinate adding draft communications to the Software Developers Homepage. Jacqui Marchment Closed 2 September 2016: This will be progressed through a broader communication and engagement strategy. 09/08 – 03 Account Manager for MYOB to follow up on progress of Activity Statement reports and Priority 1 issues. Andrew Mohr Closed 2 September 2016: Progress on the ASLRPT’s is being reported to MYOB on a minimum weekly basis, more frequently if an update is available. Priority 1 issues are addressed in a weekly conference call. A workshop will be organised to identify the additional reporting requirement for MYOB with ATO areas and the SWD. A change request will then be raised by ATO areas for this work to be costed and scheduled. 09/08 – 04 Account Manager for SAGE to confirm if rollback to ELS for EFTRS is a possibility after lodgments via PLS. Danny Figueiredo Closed 2 September 2016: Currently, if a Tax Agent subscribes to the EFT Report via ELS and then switches to SBR, the EFTRS in ELS will stop. Based on current SBR specification the report can only be delivered via one channel. If the agent then wishes to unsubscribe from SBR and to subscribe back to ELS a request can be placed via the SBR SD (and Account Manager), where a manual process can be performed (this has been tried with success). The agent essentially reverts back to ELS delivery the next time the report is requested. So yes, you can revert back but this is something the ATO will not be encouraging or advertising it – it will be treated as an incident request. Also note – the EFTRS report will not be available via
