MYOB Payroll Activity Report does not agree to ATO Payroll Reporting Centre

We have the same problem! I ran the ATO STP verification report last night and compared against MYOb and all good. All I've done today is update to the latest version and run todays payroll, and somehow the STP report is now LESS than it was last night and there is so much data missing!! I suspect something not quite right with the Compliance update!! 

Keep in mind, (which you have probably already realised), the ATO report splits out categories of payments. Gross on the ATO does not include allowances, lump sum payments, pAYG withholding, etc. They are all totaled seperately, whereas MYOB gross includes everything.

Hi BenchCBS 

Yes doing a $0 pay for terminated employees will create an update event and push their figures through to the ATO.

Hi BenchCBS 

Did you click yes to warning that it will be void paycheque? Sorry if that’s a silly question but some people have clicked no so the pay is not recorded.

Interesting turn, I've just checked the STP payrun summary report that was lodged today & all the figures are in there, including the missing ones, against the correct people. So it seems that maybe they have gone through correctly? 

I don't know, I'm confused. Seems like a great idea, this STP, but maybe there's some ironing out to be done.

I have run our verification report and found the following;

All correct except two employees who were terminated this financial year but prior to commencing STP are not showing up on the ATO verification report. When I deduct their figures, everything else matches between MYOB and the ATO.

Do I need to remove their termination dates and do a zero $ pay run for the two employees to get their figures to the ATO?

Thanks

If you're correct, I hope we get it sorted quickly!

I think my problem may be more complicated than yours.

Thank you Tracey. I'll give that a try now.

You’re welcome BenchCBS 😊
