STP Phase 2 issue with ATO Reporting categories

[Ezial]

Hi i have been using STP phase 2 for months now. my problem is when i add a new employee there is only the one ATO Reporting category.there is not the 2nd drop down box to select what type of Gross Payment etc ie overtime etc.  so now when I submit it comes up with important information missing, go back and correct? Is anyone else having these issues, if so how do i fix it?

thanks

Hi @Ezial 

Thanks for your post. Payments are reported to the ATO using one ATO reporting category. Prior to moving to STP Phase 2 you would have had two ATO reporting category fields in the payroll category information window.

The first reporting category field was for Phase 1 and this is how payments were reported to the ATO. The second field was setting up in preparation for moving to Phase 2, payments were not reported using this reporting category.

Once you move to Phase 2 the Phase 1 field is removed from payroll categories as payments are reported using the Phase 2 ATO reporting category. For example, in Phase 1 overtime was reported as Gross payments, in Phase 2 it is reported as Overtime.

If you can provide information on the errors you are getting I'll be happy to assist further.

Hi @Ezial 

That error means that you need to select the Income type for those employees:
