Job allocation on payroll & single touch payroll

[VintLab]

Hi,

I have allocated incorrect amounts to job section of one employees payroll.  I know that I cannot change that transaction.  I had intended to delete the payrun and re-do it however I am unsure what happens with reporting to ATO STP.  Can I not report this payrun?  I have only just started with STP and help with this topic would be appreciated.

Hi @VintLab 

If you didn’t declare that payrun you can leave it unsent, delete the incorrect payrun, reprocess and send through STP.  

If you did declare it you can still delete that payrun, reprocess and send through STP.

STP updates the YTD amounts each time you send a report, each report overrides the previous one. The ATO are only interested in the YTD amounts and take the figures from the latest report sent.  So when you do make mistakes you just need to correct in MYOB and STP will be automatically corrected when you send your next report.

You can check the YTD amounts are correct by clicking on the ... button in the Reporting Centre and select download report.

And a handy tip, if you have old unsent reports in the reporting centre don’t send them or they will throw out your YTD amounts. As long as your YTD amounts in the latest reports are correct, you’re all good.

Cheers
