ATO reporting category (phase 2) not showing in MYOB AR File

Hi,   I have a client who has set up their STP filing a long time ago... and yet we just discovered (after trying to add a new pay category) that we are unable to add in the STP Phase 2 categories!...

Thanks Shella,

 

It is definitely reporting as STP 2, although I am unable to allocate the STP 2 wage categories (only phase 1). According to the ATO regulations, I need to categorise the wage payments according to the STP phase 2 categories.

 

As in MYOBs advice, under the below link - under the heading 

What is each ATO reporting category for?

Hi MarthaG,

 

Thanks for the response. In the updated AccountRight Software, there's no longer a distinct column separating ATO Reporting Category Phase 1 and Phase 2. However, if you're seeing STP Phase 2 reports, it means the transition from STP Phase 1 categories has been successful.

 

If you're having trouble, you can check out our support sites like myob.com/support or myaccount.myob.com. There, you'll find MOCA, our virtual assistant, ready to help with immediate questions. If MOCA can't solve your issue, you'll be connected to our live chat team. You can also contact the ATO directly to confirm your STP Phase 2 details.

 

Feel free to post again anytime you require further assistance.

 

 

Kind regards,

Shella

    That is not correct - we need to allocate the first STP category (e.g: Gross wages) and then expand on what the payments are for (the reason why the ATO expanded to Phase 2) - see below from MYOB website.

     

    I do not have access to allocate what type of gross payments are made - so the ATO is not receiving details of bonuses, annual or personal leave or overtime from the Gross payments (even though it is being reported on STP Phase 2).

     

    MYOB website;

     STP Phase 2 is the ATO's expansion of their payroll reporting requirements. This includes expanding the list of ATO reporting categories to better define the amounts paid to employees. For example, the ATO reporting category Gross payments has been split into more specific payment types, like overtime and bonuses.

      Hi MarthaG,

       

      It looks like you're having a bit of a hiccup allocating the different types of gross payments, which means the ATO isn't getting the lowdown on bonuses, leave, or overtime from the gross payments.

       

      To dig deeper into this, could you send me the necessary details through a private message? 

       

      • Serial Number
      • Company Name
      • Company File Name or Number
      • Your full name and email address
      • A snapshot of the YTD reports showing the pay items with either assigned or unassigned ATO payroll reporting categories
      • A snapshot of the specific pay items they're having trouble allocating to the STP Phase 2 ATO reporting category
      • Any snapshot or evidence showing that these pay items indicate the ATO isn't receiving any assigned ATO reporting category for reference.

       

      I look forward to your response.

       

       

      Kind regards,

      Shella
