    Hi, LouOCE. Process a pay run and put 0.01 cents against the payroll category and then -0.01 cent against PAYG Withholding (the ATO doesn't care about cents). The result will be a nil payroll, and then, hopefully, the ATO Category will be uploaded as reportable when you declare STP. I would double-check this at the end to be safe.   If you have any queries, post back here.
