    Hi talinga, 

     

    Thank you for your response and sorry for the confusion.

     

    In scenario 1, ATO will only include the new pay run because the first incorrect pay run was reversed. If you have already recorded a reversal for the pay run the amount won't be added to the YTD totals. 

     

    On the other hand, the first pay run in scenario 4 was not reversed. Hence the totals of the two pay runs will be added to the YTD report.

     

    Let us know if you still have questions. We're happy to help.

     

    Cheers,

Hi Gereve,

Thank you for your reply. 

I see another issue from your reply. If "UPDATED" does not overwrite the original run, then ATO would receive 2 pay runs lodgement ATO in the example below although the wrong run was reversed in my system. One is the original run which is wrong and the other is the corrected one.  In other words, in ATO's view, this employee gets paid twice, although it is not the case. 

 

Example 1

You recorded a pay last week, but you realised the pay was wrong (maybe it was missing some sick leave), so you reversed it. You record the pay again, with the correct details, and you choose a Date of payment from last week. Because this date is prior to today and you're fixing a previous pay, you'd choose Report as an updated pay run.
