Hi davina2024,
You can check out the payroll reports like the payroll register and payroll summary in MYOB. These reports give you detailed info on the deductions for each employee for each pay period. This should help you manually verify the calculations and spot any discrepancies between your manual calculations and the figures reported in MYGOV.

Hi davina2024
If the employee is attached to the correct tax table (see Card > Employees > Payroll Details > Taxes) MYOB will calculate any applicable extra for a HELP debt and will add this to the PAYG amount. The total shown on the Payroll Register Summary (YTD Report) should match exactly the amounts appearing on the employee's income statement - as this is where the figures come from. This is because the HELP component becomes part of the PAYG.
If however you set up a deduction payroll category for a HELP component (not recommended), and this payroll category is not assigned to PAYG, this could explain why there is a discrepancy.
Fixing the issue depends on first identifying cause. Update this thread with what you find.

Gavin
