Gross on STP final report not reduced by exempt FB

juned01

I have noticed that when I try to finalise the STP Payroll this year that it is not reducing the gross amount by the amount deducted for exempt s57 fringe benefits. The Payment summary should show the reduced amount as the gross. I have balanced the STP reports sent through during the year and it shows the reduced gross amounts. Is there something different this year or am I missing something?

Hi @juned01,

 

A good thing to check here is how the RFBA amount was entered in the YTD Verification side of things. It’d be worth reviewing exactly how that RFBA was set up, because if there’s a wage category tied to the fringe benefit amount and it’s been marked as Not Reportable, that can definitely throw the EOFY figures into a weird little dance. So the cozy checklist here would be:

 

• Check how the RFBA amount was entered
• Review the payroll category linked to that amount
• Make sure it hasn’t been set up in a way that’s treating it as Not Reportable when it shouldn’t be

That should help narrow down whether it’s a setup issue rather than a change in how finalisation is working. You can also check this link about RFBA for more info.

 

Cheers,

Doreen
