Contractors and Payday Super

This is what I did.

1 - Create or Update the Contractor’s Employee Card

2 - Set the Personal Details>Employment Basis to Other (Not Reported). This means you won't be reporting the contractor's super payments to the ATO

3 - Leave the Personal Details>Employment Category set to Permanent.

4 - Click the Taxes tab. For the Tax File Number, enter 000 000 000. For the Income Type, choose Labour hire. This information is required to avoid AccountRight prompting you with a message about missing information every time you pay the contractor's super in a pay run.

5 - For the Process all employees paid dropdown, choose Bonus/Commission and dismiss the info box that appears about tax.

6 - For the pay dates, enter the same date you paid the contractor’s invoice

 

After doing this I recorded the pays and that is when it goes wrong. I still have to sign in and I get sent down the STP path which ends up with a STP REJECT. The error message is

"STP error code CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000272"

 

How can we pay super on behalf of our contractors using MYOB Paysuper while avoiding STP reporting?

    Hi Karma_m,

     

    Sorry for the late reply, and fair enough to be frustrated with this. If you’re still running into issues with the setup of your contractors for Payday Super, and you’ve already tried the workaround mentioned above, it’d be best to reach out to our support team directly from here so they can dig into your setup properly and help with the next steps. You can contact them via our Contact Us page.

     

    Cheers,
