How to Process a Nil Payrun STP

Question

Hi,

I had a new payroll category that didn't have an ATO reporting category assigned.

I have since assigned the category.

Now I have to process a Nil Payrun for that employee and lodge through STP.

Can someone please give me the step by step instructions to process a Nil payrun.

Thanks In Advance.

Hi, LouOCE. Process a pay run and put 0.01 cents against the payroll category and then -0.01 cent against PAYG Withholding (the ATO doesn't care about cents). The result will be a nil payroll, and then, hopefully, the ATO Category will be uploaded as reportable when you declare STP. I would double-check this at the end to be safe.   If you have any queries, post back here.
