Thank you for your reply Doreen.
I have double checked the payroll register report and pretty much all other reports there are, and they all have the tax amount of $1285.00
STP Reporting will tell me which pays were accepted including those with a zero amounts with the regular and correct payslips & reports. Only in the STP Reporting is where there is a discrepancy. The zero amounts in the STP reporting occurred on 6 & 27 Nov and 2 Dec. You may have had glitches those days???
As mentioned, If I go on the ATO website to lodge the BAS does it say a different amount. My accountant said that he has seen this before with other clients and told me not to worry about it as long as I can recognise the correct report amounts.
Please note, there is only one employee (me) and no categories get changed, ever.
Perhaps there is just a glitch which may be able to be rectified.
Thanks again for your reply.

Hi, anita2
Thanks for your response.
Generally, the reason why a pay run shows a $0 amount under STP reporting is because when the pay run has been processed, it is a past date. In which case, it will ask you if it is an updated pay run or a new pay run. Most likely, if you chose the updated pay run, a $0 amount will be shown under STP reporting. If your payroll reports, such as the payroll register, payroll activity, and YTD verification report, have the correct figures, you can disregard the $0 amount shown in STP reporting.
Best regards,
Doreen
