Hi DuncanR1952
Correct, this will update the ATO. Additional information in the post I linked above regarding the $0 pay, it explains this.

Hi DuncanR1952
Thanks for your post. I hope you're finding plenty of useful tips, advice and support on the community forum.
The payroll reporting center retains the reports for compliance, audit and reporting purposes so cannot be deleted. With that said, the ATO is interested in the YTD figures so they take the most recent submission provided. Whenver you have to change a recorded pay you can update the ATO by waiting for the next pay event, or completing a $0 pay run. The nil pay pulls through the YTD figures and updates the ATO; more information in the link provided.

Thanks for your response, but I don't see how it solves the problem. Let's say an employee is paid $10k per month on the 1st of the month, and that in October, two pays were entered in STP instead of one. So on October 2nd, the employee's YTD in ATO is $50k rather than $40k as it should be, and now (mid November) $60k rather than $50k.
How does entering a $0 or void payrun and reporting it to ATO change the employee's YTD figures in ATO-land?
Hi DuncanR1952
To clarify, you must first correct the pay within AccountRight. So whether that's reversing or deleting the pay, based on the info provided in the link, you first correct that amount. Then completing the $0 pay run pulls through the correct YTD figures. Since the ATO accepts the most recent submission of YTD figures, the $0 pay is an update pay even for the ATO.
If the YTD amounts are correct and the employee has been properly paid, then the ATO would be properly informed and no changes would need to be made. As mentioned, there's not the ability to delete a payroll report from the STP reporting center, so as long as the most recent submission is accurate then the ATO is satisfied.

Thanks Theresa, I think I get it. Provided MYOB is correct (checking also Payroll Register and Actvity Summary match), and $0 payrun will send through the correct YTD figures to ATO, which will update the figures that are there?
