    Hi BenchCBS 

     

    Thanks for your post.  The way STP reporting works is that only transactions recorded through Process Payroll are sent to the ATO.  As reversals aren't recorded through Process Payroll they won't be reported through STP.

     

    However, as mentioned by Monkey95 the ATO are only interested in the YTD amounts, which are corrected by the reversal.  This works the same if you delete a payrun, the payrun isn't deleted from the Payroll Reporting Centre or Business Portal but the YTD amounts are corrected when you send the next STP report.

     

    You can check the YTD amounts are correct by going to the Payroll Reporting Centre and clicking on the ... button for the most recent report and select Download report.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
