Transfer BMS ID

If you've been using another payroll system to report STP reports for the current financial year, you'll need your Business Management Software (BMS) ID.

Your BMS ID can be found in different areas in different payroll systems, but you'll likely locate this on a payroll report or through your business' ATO Portal.

• Log into the ATO's online services.
• Go to Employees >> STP reporting (agents go to Business >> STP reporting).
• Click the dropdown arrow next to one of your STP reports.
• Copy the Business Management software (BMS) ID so you can paste it into the Previous Software BMS ID field in Wageloch.
