Hi AndrewKuyper

 

It sounds like you've done some thorough checking already. Since the tax amounts are correct but the Gross Wages aren't tallying up, here's what you can do next:

  1. Double-check the Payroll Register and YTD Verification Report to confirm if the discrepancy persists across those reports.
  2. If the issue is only with Gross Wages and everything else is in order, you might want to try sending an update event. This helps sync all figures being sent to the ATO.

Let me know how it goes or if you need further assistance!

 

Best regards,

Doreen

    Thank you for the reply, The YTD Verification report, Payroll Summary and Payroll register all balance with each other at the Total Salary and wages as per payroll summary report level. The Gross Wages that appear in the ATO Wages (W1) do not match this number and I feel that it is not meant to as W1 represents taxable wages (so excludes allowances etc). I feel that the Total STP taxable wages on the YTD verification report should equal the amounts transferred to the tax office however it doesn't appear to. I am relatively new to MYOB but I must be missing a component
