PLSL levy calculation in STP 2

[kaushika]

Hi Team,

We recently implemented STP Phase 2 and the payroll catogories have now changed to Gross payments, other paid leave, etc. But, the PLSL gets calculated on Gross Wages.

I want to understand if the Gross wages includes leaves or just gross payments and if the PLSL is being calculated correctly.

I am attaching a screenshot for reference.

Hi @kaushika 

Thanks for your post. The ATO reporting categories are only how a payment is reported to the ATO in STP, they don't impact calculations.

When the Calculation Basis for a payroll category is set as Equals % of Gross wages, all unticked wages categories in the Exempt window are included in the calculation. To exclude a wage category from the calculation click on Exempt and tick the applicable category.

The Help Article, Portable Long Service, has detailed information. However, we're not able to advise which payroll categories should be included or excluded in the calculations. You would need to check this with the Portable long service leave authority.

Please let me know if you need further help.
