STP EOY Finalisation when not set up correctly

Hi MareePP ,

Thanks for your post. As long as the latest pay run is processed and accepted without errors, it means the issue has been corrected. The status of previous pay runs marked as "accepted with errors" or "rejected" will not change. Please check the Payroll Register, Payroll Activity, and YTD Verification reports to ensure everything is correct before finalizing.  I would also recommend on visiting this help article for more information:

End of year finalisation with Single Touch Payroll reporting

As the error was only discovered last week does this mean they need to reverse the last payroll in June and reprocess.

as workers are casual will this pick up any employees who were not paid in that last pay run. Or will their last pays also need to be reversed and rerun?

We have processed a nil payroll and tried to submit - it is rejected with the following error:-

Note that we were submitting a payroll report not an EOY Finalisation.  Had a few attempts but all unsuccessful.

Pay runs for the new financial year are accepted without a problem.

Thanks

Hi MareePP

The ATO error you received means that you're trying to finalise a payroll year for which you haven't submitted any payroll information to the ATO via STP. To finalise your previous year's payroll information, you'll need to complete manual payment summaries. You can check this link for more information regarding the ATO error code and the further steps on how to fix it.

Best regards,
