Hi Princess_R ,
I've had the same issue here for Gross payments,
- Payroll Activity = Payroll Register ≠ STP YTD Report
Except that I've found that the difference was due to Task Allowances and Notice in lieu payments on my end.
The Task Allowances (ATO category: allowance type KN) and ETP (Type O) payments are still under Gross Payments in the Payroll Activity and Payroll Register Report, while they are not counted towards the Gross payments in the YTD report for some reason.
I've just submitted to ATO as is, since the difference still appears on the employees' individual YTD report as "Allowance - tasks" and "ETP-taxable component - O".
Could you kindly advise if what I've done is correct/incorrect please?
Much appreciated.
Hi Acc5-SA,
Looks like you're on the right track. These allowances and ETP components usually show up under Gross Payments in those reports but might not appear the same in the STP YTD Report. Here's a tip: check the individual summary of payments under the EOFY finalization tab against the employee name. Click on the three dots to see the breakdown of other pay items that aren't reported as gross payments. Add these to the Gross YTD in the Verification Report, and voila, everything should match up.
Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.
Cheers,
Princess
