STP PAYROLL STARTED MID FINANCIAL YEAR

[CWhit]

We moved to STP only in September 2020. Do I need to run payroll summaries for the period July - September?

Hi @CWhit 

Payroll Reporting (STP) is done on year-to-date information from the employee's record. So prior to lodging your pays how did you enter them? 

If this was done via Payroll>>Process payroll, you are actually good to go. When you have lodged your first pays with the ATO, you would have also sent through that previous pay information/year-to-date information with that particular pay. 

You would just need to look at finalising your STP/Payroll reporting. No payment summaries would be required to be produced.

One of our employees resigned in the beginning of the financial year prior to us moving to STP in September 2020. Conversely his payroll is appearing in the payrool Activity Summary YE 21 but not in the STP YTD vertification report. How do I report his salary to the ATO?
