Hello,
We have an employee who is taxed as a Working Holiday Maker, and for her Country of Origin, I selected Vietnam as that is where she is from. However, when doing her tax return, in her Income Statement, it is showing as Country of Income?
Did I wrongly assume that Country of Origin in MYOB means where the person came from, rather than which country she is being paid from?
Regards,
Richard
Hi RichardT
This is a public forum so best not to attach too much information _ suggest you remove or edit the attachments. The STP rules require the country of origin. If you try to select Aust, you will get an error. The Income Statement is 'wrong' referring to the country of income.

Thanks for the advice. I've removed the attachments.
So can I confirm that the STP rule require country of origin, as in which country the employee is originally from? I tried selecting Australia against the employee's card just to test it, and it still accepted it?
Regards,
Richard
Hi RichardT
See ATO web site here towards bottom of page. '
Accepted by the ATO or by MYOB? I doubt the ATO would accept, but might be wrong. MYOB is well known for being lax with edit checks on data integrity, leaving users to often interpret cryptic ATO error messages after the report is rejected.
