Hi Minihan,

 

Thanks for the detailed rundown! If your evening meal allowance is under the ATO reasonable threshold, you’re right that it should be tax‑free on the payslip and not show up in STP/MyGov if set up correctly. Make sure the allowance pay item has PAYG Withholding marked as exempt and its ATO reporting category set to Not Reportable. You can double check the steps here. If it still being stubborn, best shot is to give our live chat a buzz via our virtual assistant MOCA or lodge a support request at MyAccount and will help you sort it out.

 

 

Cheers,

Shella
