STP issues - Non reportable Exempt Fringe Benefits

I'm having issues with the STP 2 reporting to ATO for exempt fringe benefits.

 

Since the transition to STP 2, i noticed that the exempt benefit got reported to ATO in the MYOB software even though the deductions for exempt benefit had been assigned as Not Reportable in the ATO Reporting Category. 

 

Previously, in the old STP reporting, it was not reported. I'm aware that it should not be reported. 

 

How can we fix this issue? Has anyone gone through the same situation?

      Some of our employees are entitled to Non Taxable fringe Benefits that were previously non reportable. 

      I see on the payment summaries now that they appear as reportable...

      I have set them up as - "Salary Sacrifice - other employee benefits" but they are appearing as RFB..

      Is this correct?   Will it affect the employees Govt benefits eg: family benefit or child care? 

      How do I fix it if its wrong...?   who can advise me? 

      thanks Kim

      It's now required by ATO that exempt fringe benefits be reported under STP 2.
