STP EOFY Finalisation

Hi ACHI,

Thanks for your post. When you look at the EOFY finalisation tab or the YTD verification report in the STP reporting centre for the current or last payroll year, you might notice the values don't look right. This can happen if you've recently moved to STP Phase 2.

You can easily fix this by sending an update event. If needed you can do this for the current and previous payroll years.

1. In the STP reporting centre, click the STP reports tab.
2. Choose the Payroll year (for the year where the values don't look right).
3. Click Send update event.
4. When prompted to send your payroll information to the ATO, enter your details and click Send.

You may also check your Payroll Activity Summary and Payroll Register Summary because the Activity report gets it's data from pays recorded through Process Payroll. The Register report gets it's data from the Pay History tab in the employee card . Single touch payroll reports get their figures from the Pay History tab in the employee card. If the Activity and Register reports do match, then it's time to look at the ATO reporting categories. Check for any payroll categories that you've paid for the first time in that month, eg, annual leave, leave loading, personal leave. You can run the Activity Detail report to get a break up of the payroll categories. Check the different categories to see if one of them is the amount you are out of balance by.

Feel free to write a post if you need further assistance.

Cheers,

Jem
