Update Event through STP for Tax File Number

[tonti83]

Hi,

I processed one pay for an employee, who's employment ended quickly. I had his tax details, and expected the return of the TFN declaration form. He didn't return the form, so now I need to update the pay through STP with the TFN listed as 000 000 000. How do I do this? Do I need to reverse the pay and re-enter it, or can I just process another pay for him with no amount/hours, and have this update his TFN for the ATO?

Thank you!

Hi @tonti83 

Thank you for your post. What you will need to do is:

1. Go to the Card File command centre and click Cards List.
2. Click the Employee tab and then click the zoom arrow next to the employee card you want to enter details for. The Card Information window appears.
3. Click the Payroll Details tab. This window is divided into a number of subsections.
4. Click a tab on the left of the window to enter payroll details.
   
5. Click on Taxes
6. Type the employee’s tax file number in the Tax File Number field.

Thank you for your reply, however I was already able to do all this, and I had entered his TFN and processed his pay through STP, but now I need to change the TFN to the 000 000 000 option because he didn't return a TFN Declaration.

I'm wondering if I change it to 000 000 000 in his Payroll Details, and then enter a NIL pay run, whether this will be enough to update this information for the ATO, or whether I need to delete/reverse his pay, and then put it through again with the new TFN information?

Thanks.

Hi @tonti83 

If update the details and do a $0 pay, this should update the details for the ATO. Please let us know how you get on and if you have any further questions.
