Prefilled IAS not balancing with MYOB reports

Hi,   For the first time I've noticed that when I go the ATO Portal to submit my IAS report the amounts are prefilled for July. There is a $280 difference for the gross wages for my payroll summary...

    Hi CJL05

     

    I was corresponding with MYOB and they had me check all my settings for Single Touch Payroll for Salary Sacrifice and they were all fine.  No solution was found. 

     

    I spoke to my accountant and he told me to keep overriding the pre fill amount.  I do know that it is the salary sacrifice that isn't being picked up in the prefill amount so at least I know exactly what it is come the end of the financial year.  I am hoping by then there is a fix made by either MYOB or the ATO.

     

    If you find anything else out, I would appreceiat an update too.  Thanks

Hi Toni,

 

Oh, thank you! That's what mine is too. My salary sacrifice is set up as reportable under category 'Salary Sacrifice and RESC'. My end of year report balanced with my MYOB reports and my BIS has only just started prefilling - otherwise I wouldn't have even picked this up. I have lodged my end of year payroll with the ATO for the last few years with everything set up this way and I haven't had any queries from them, so I'm assuming it's ok. I have altered the prefilled amount though so that it matches my MYOB payroll register summary. 

 

Kind regards

 

Jenny

Hi jhay1 and FFTITIC 

Just wondering if you found a solution to this issue? I've been having the same problem and have been overriding the prefill amount, but I'm not sure if that is the correct thing to do. Any advice you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi CJL05,

     

    I continued to adjust the figures for a couple of months but the last pre-filled table was correct without any need for adjustment, and November's figures look correct at this stage too. I am assuming it was an MYOB glitch that has now been fixed (maybe).

     

    Kind regards

      Thanks Jenny

      My figures were still incorrect for the latest prefill, but our salary sacrifice isn't for super (we are a not-for-profit), so maybe it is slightly different for us. I will just continue to adjust manually I guess.

      Thanks for your reply.

      Kind regards

        Hi Everyone,


        Thank you for posting this concern in the forum. 

         

        I'm sorry to hear about the differences between your IAS and the ledger reports. May I get you to check on the "Set up Activity Statement Fields" from the "Settings" on the BAS landing page to check if the category is included in the W1 field? 

         

        We look forward to your response. 
         

        Thanks,

      Hi FFTITIC 

       

      Thanks for the update. As suggested, I'll just keep adjusting the prefill amount, and hope that MYOB / ATO comes on board with a solution. If I hear anything further I'll let you know.

      Hi FFTITIC, 

       

      Thanks for posting your concern in the forum. 

       

      I'm sorry to hear about your IAS/BAS information not being filled with the correct information. If you haven't yet checked the "Set up Activity Statement Fields" under the settings mentioned in my previous response to this thread, I recommend making sure that it is set correctly in that window.

       

      Let us know if you require any further assistance with this. 


      Thanks,
      Genreve

        Hi Genreve

         

        I have checked my settings in W1 and Salary Sacrifice isn't selected.  If I tick them it reduced the amount on the BAS form but then doesn't match my figures on the MYOB payroll report that includes them as part of the gross.

         

        So my question is, should they be ticked in the settings or not.

         

        Thank you for your response to my question.

      Perhaps I'm not reading the question right but Salary sacrifice amounts are not reported at W1 and hence correctly not included in the pre-fill from ATO

      W1 is reporting taxable wage or earnings that are subject to withholding... salary sacrifice therefore not included
