Registered Agent Information

If your organisation provides outsourced payroll services to other businesses and you report to the ATO on their behalf, you will need to ensure that your registered tax agent or BAS agent details are configured against each pay company in FastTrack360 that represents a client’s business entity. The registered agent details allow the ATO to recognise who is submitting STP reports on your client’s behalf.

Alternatively, if your organisation uses an on-premise instance of FastTrack360, the registered agent details are used to link a pay company, which is a child entity within your organisation's business structure, to the parent pay company that has registered the AUSKey that will be used to facilitate STP reporting.

The registered agent details are configured on the Registered Agent tab on the Payroll > Maintenance > Pay Company > Registered Agent Tab , as highlighted below.

The Registered Agent tab is available only where the STP declaration type that is selected for the pay company is one of the following:

RAPS – Registered Agent Payroll Software
RAMPS – Registered Agent (Multi ABN) Payroll Software.

For more information, see Declaration Types.

The following information is captured on the Registered Agent tab.
