FBT exempt payments for DGR business

We are having trouble getting our payment summaries correct. We are a NFP with PBI status and our employees deduct the standard $611 pre tax to their home loans each pay. The ATO is wanting to charge tax on these payments despite our exemption under S57A. We believe we have the wrong tax status loaded for the employee. We believe that under wages and under deductions both FBT exempt categories should show as not reportable. This does not seem to fix the problem. We have had no luck speaking with MYOB and no luck with the ATO. I need assistance urgently. Chris

Hi Watty2487 

I'm sorry to see that no one has replied to you yet. The Help Article, RFBA with STP, has instructions for reporting exempt fringe benefits when finalising STP.

Please don't hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.

Thanks Tracey_H.

The problem has finally been sorted. We had everything loaded correctly and had this double checked and referred this also to our accountant to check and they also agreed all was correctly loaded. The issue was finally admitted by MYOB tech help as being a glitch with the MYOB system. The payroll summaries were not taking the FBT exempt payments from the gross figure which in turn meant that the tax figures were incorrect. The fact that this took several phone calls with long (up to two hours) wait times and over a period of 6 weeks before the error was acknowledged and a solution offered is what I found most annoying. Thanks for getting back to me. Chris.
