ETP Tax Withholding Issue

Question

All set up correctly but the issue I am having is as follows:

Recorded and reported ETP payment with ETP tax Withholding. The STP report did not report the ETP withholding tax. Sent and update report. Still didn't show.
Reversed the pay which then showed the ETP tax as a negative! I know these report as a "0" to the ATO.
Reran the payrun which then showed the ETP tax but I'm assuming these cancel each other out as the IAS when processed didn't match what the ATO had as the tax payable in the portal. It stated we owed less - exactly the amount for the ETP tax.

I can't record the tax on its own again as it will show up double in MYOB. I'm at a loss. I'd love to be able to manually record this figure in the STP reporting as it's the only issue.

STP final report for this employee shows a positive and a negative for the ETP tax withheld. I'm worried it won't record the tax paid for this employees ETP payment.

I get why you're worried about the ETP tax withholding and STP report issues. It seems complicated, but no sweat; we're here to help. If a pay run is reported as an updated pay run, it might show $0 on the STP report. So, what you can do is double-check your payroll reports, like the register and activity, and cross-check them with the EOFY YTD verification report to see if the figures are reported correctly. Since you've reversed the ETP, you'll need to do the ETP process again. Just follow the steps in this Help article: Fixing an ETP.
Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.

Thanks Princess&nbsp;Doing another payrun for the tax won't fix the issue. All the payroll reports show that it is there but the STP filing for this individual is showing it going in and out and hence not registering at all. If I record again my payroll reports will be incorrect. The issue is that it didn't get picked up on the first payrun for it but it did reverse it when I tried to reverse. If it did the same for the reverse - ie not acknowledge it, I wouldn't have a problem. MYOB reports are correct. STP reporting is incorrect.The ATO didn't acknowledge the tax amount for the BAS either so as far as the ATO is concerned it doesn't exist.Is there a way to manually remove the negative amount being picked up in the STP?
