STP Reporting finalisation after changing products
I changed from AccountRight to Business just into the new financial year & have noticed now that I have done the STP End of Payroll Year finalisation (in Business) & logging into myGov, that there are 2 figures pulled across from our employer in the pre-fill (the initial amount reported in AccountRight) & the year to date amount (which is correct) from Business. The changeover was done by MYOB on their end, to bring all the data across correctly, so that I could continue payruns, ect in Business with the current year to date figures.
In checking with the ATO, they have a gross amount that totals both the previous figures (from AccountRight) & the current one (from Business) . The STP report from Business has the correct year to date amount, but then add the extra amount from the AccountRight reporting, that will actually give them more than they were paid.
The ATO told me I'll have to undo the finalisation & push through a zero pay run to reduce the figures. Will I need to do that on the AccountRight version, so that those figures going through to the ATO disappear? I'm not sure how to do that & am worried that it will mess with the year to dates.
Why did the first lot of STP reporting still show up from AccountRight, when the year to date payrun figures were brought across to Business, to be able to continue doing payruns?
