Hi ComCons,
To address the issue where the PAYG withholding has been overstated in your STP report, check first the STP reporting center to identify any duplicate submissions for the specific payroll period. You might consider processing a negative pay run to offset the duplicate amount reported.
If a duplicate submission has been sent, you may need to contact the ATO to explain the situation and ask for guidance on adjusting the overstated amount. The ATO may have a process for rectifying such errors.
For further assistance, consulting with your accountant or a tax advisor can ensure that your adjustments comply with ATO requirements.

Hi Sai,
Thanks for your response - a negative payroll will not work as it will take it out of the ledger and it is only in the ledger once. The glitch in MYOB caused it to appear twice in the STP which both were sent. I"ll call the ATO but know there reposnse will be talk to the software provider, will try technical help for MYOB tomorrow and see if they have any suggestions.
