STP Reporting discrepancy in summary compared to reports

Hi, I've found when I check in preparation for EOFY STP reporting that a category for one of our employees is being missed in the Final Indicator page Gross YTD. Just wondering if this is a glitch on...

    Hi JVG, 

     

    Thanks for sending those screenshots through. Bit confusing when the STP reports don’t line up with the other reports, isn’t it? The Gross YTD column in the STP report is only adding up the amounts from pay categories set to the ATO reporting category as gross. My guess is the Secondment Allowance might be set up differently.

     

    From what I can see in the screenshots, though, everything looks like it's matching.

I’ve just encountered the same issue and I’m quite confused as to why the gross amounts in the STP EOFY Finalisation Report don’t match the figures in the other reports.

Additionally, the bonus amount is appearing in the employee's Income Statement under the gross total, but it's missing from the detailed breakdown — it simply disappears. I had assumed there would be a separate line item for the bonus, possibly under "Allowance" with a note indicating it includes the bonus. The presentation is a bit unclear and quite confusing.

Hi KLGSA,

 

The gross amounts in the STP EOFY Finalisation Report don’t tally with other payroll reports because STP reports follow the ATO’s strict rules, which means certain pay items like bonuses can show up differently, often separated from gross wages. As for that missing bonus breakdown, it’s likely due to how the bonus has been mapped in the ATO reporting categories or whether it’s accidentally exempted from PAYG withholding. That’s why it pops up in the gross total but doesn’t get its own line item in the breakdown. To fix it, double-check the bonus item’s ATO reporting category and PAYG settings, adjust if needed, and send an update event to refresh the reports.

 

If this still doesn't fix the figures from the payroll reports, it's best to reach out to our team on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via MyAccount.

 

Cheers,

Doreen

    Hi Doreen,

    The bonus amount has appeared correctly under one of our employee’s Income Statement on their MyGov account, which I believe is as expected.

    However, when they download the prefill information in E-Tax, there isn’t a separate line item for Bonuses and Commissions.

    The good news is that the gross wage total in E-Tax does match correctly.
