Changing income type STP Phase 2

Question

I have a client who owns the business but also pays himself through Payroll as an employee.

I originally thought he would be classed as a Closely Held Payee, however, because he is paid every fortnight with other employees, I have been advised that his income type is Salary and Wages.

When I first set up STP 2, I selected CHP for this employee. However, I have since updated to SAW within their employee card.

Is there anything else I need to do in MYOB to ensure that the new information is reflected in what the ATO receives?

Hi&nbsp;BreeDeCunha&nbsp;&nbsp;A Closely Help Payee (CHP) is almost always a Salary and Wages Payee (SAW) as well. Specifying them as CHP can qualify for some concessional treatment (frequency of reporting, due dates etc). However these concessions can be meaningless if they also have other arms length employees they need to report on anyway. So use CHP or SAW and whatever you specify on the employee's card, this is what MYOB will send to the ATO.&nbsp;Suggest you check this with your accountant or tax adviser. I would also check your first statement, depending on what business structure is used (sole trader/partnership/company etc) to ensure accountant is aware.&nbsp;RegardsGavin

As advised by&nbsp;gavin12345&nbsp;you just need to ensure you have selected the correct Income Type in the employee card. If you change the Income Type, this will be updated with the ATO when you send the next STP report.
