Where can I find my STP Software ID?

ClockOn does not require a Software ID to report to the ATO via STP. 

A Software ID is only required if your software is reporting STP directly to the ATO. Certain hosted Standard Business Reporting (SBR) enabled business/accounting software can notify the ATO that, for the purpose of its transactions with the ATO via the SBR channel, it sends and receives those transactions to the ATO in their hosted software environment. 

ClockOn does not transmit STP data to the ATO this way, we instead partner with a STP gateway provider (OzEdi) to pass that transaction to the ATO via the SBR channel, thus removing the need for the software ID.
