STP recorded as an Update Event instead of a Pay Event

Hi,

 

I ran our usual payroll for our staff for the week ending 26/10.  However, the following day, my collegue ran an additional pay run for a single employee that had been missed from the run.  The payroll date was recorded at 26/10 so resulted in an Update Event report via STP reporting to the ATO.

 

The STP Reporting list shows the value of the addtional pay run as being $0 (screenshot attached).  However when I run the Employee YTD Report from the listing it shows the correct amount of the processed pay run along with the tax withheld of $17.

 

My issue is that now I am about to lodge my PAYG report with the ATO through the portal for the October period and the balance of my Payroll Activity report does not match with the reported total that the ATO is showing ($17 short).  My Payroll Activity report for the month has included the withheld tax amount from the additional pay run but the STP ATO reported total for the month is less that one pay run amount ($17).

 

How do I ensure that the correct reporting amount and also ensure the amount of tax withheld for this particular employee will be reported to the ATO correctly?  Do I just edit the total PAYG amount to match my Payroll Activity Report within the ATO portal?  Do I need to do an adjusment or correction within MYOB? Please help!!

 

 

 

  • Hi Uniquip,

    Thanks for your reply and my apologies for the late response. You have the option to manually edit the amount on the ATO Portal, though it's advisable to contact the ATO beforehand. Confirming the figures they have on their end can ensure alignment and accuracy before making any adjustments. This proactive step helps maintain consistency and avoids potential discrepancies in your records.

    Feel free to post again, we're happy to help!
    Regards,
    Earl

    Thanks Genreve

    I use MYOB Essentials. I send pay runs via STP and lodge to ATO manually.

    How do I fix the pay run from an updated event to a pay event?
    The payroll register and activity statement balance.

    Thanks

    Hi Chapman1,

     

    You can't change the values in the STP report. But don't worry, as long as the Payroll Register and Payroll Activity reports match and are correct, the information sent to the ATO will also be accurate.

     

    Feel free to create a new thread if you need any other help.

     

    Thanks,
