    Hi DVCS3088 

     

    Salary Sacrifice - Other employee benefits is an STP Phase 2 ATO reporting category so it will not appear as an option in the Phase 1 (ATO reporting category) field. 

     

    As you have not moved to Phase 2 yet you will need to select the applicable Phase 1 ATO reporting category. Amounts will be reported according to the Phase 1 reporting category selected. When you move to Phase 2 the deduction will be reported according to the Phase 2 reporting category selected.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    Hi DVCS3088 

     

    Thanks for your post. We're not able to advise on which ATO reporting category needs to be assigned to payroll categories. If you're not sure you will need to speak to your accountant or the ATO.

     

    Salary sacrifice - Other employee benefits is an STP Phase 2 reporting category so will not appear in the available options for Phase 1. You will need to select the applicable Phase 1 reporting category in that field.

     

    Assign ATO reporting categories

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

      Hi Tracey,

      In the Deduction tab, ATO Reporting Category (Phase 1), there is no option for Salary Sacrifice - Other employee benefits, only Deduction - Workplace giving which contradicts the STP phase 2. As per screen dump below.  Because in the Payroll reporting is is showing as Deduction - Workplace giving instead of Salary Sacrifce - Other employee benefits.

      Thanks, Vangie
