payroll only - problems with 2022 fy

Ive been using MYOB Account Right V 19 desktop version so had to use a 3rd party payroll app (free), which has given me no end of problems.  My final report for 2022 financial year is wrong.  My salary sacrifice figures have not come across, hence instead of a refund I now have a tax bill.

 

I've sent a new zero report to ATO and checked my MYGOV account and it is indeed back to zero.  Can I just do the payroll for 2022 in your online version (free trial or not), and have it go to the ATO to correct my problem that the Salary Sacrifice has not come across.  Once I can do that and my data file is tidied (removing all my old unused accounts and cards), can I then convert to the new online version.

 

Also as of 1 February my company has changed from a  Pty Ltd company ATF family Trust to a pty ltd company.  How does that affect the price, do I have to have 2 company files and 2 registrations till the end of the financial year then close the Trust account one.

    I can't answer all of your questions, however a few things to consider include:

     

    How salary sacrifice is reported has changed from Phase 1 to Phase 2, so it is important to understand what STP version was being used by your free STP Reporting  software.

     

    Also thought I'd mention a program called STP Creator - this was developed specifically for MYOB company files (offline) and works with v19 and AR2023. It is not free and cost is around $100 for up to 4 employees or around $220 for up to 20 employees. The software is quite flexible and importantly shows you exactly what it is sending to the ATO BEFORE you send, so you can abort before sending if something is not right - this is not available in MYOB's STP.

     

    Some bookkeepers use STP Creator once a year just to correct reporting errors they can't correct in thie existing STP software.

     

    Also you should be aware that to use MYOB's STP reporting your company file MUST be online and you need a subscription for each company file you need to report on.
