    Hi Buddi,

     

    Thank you for your response. 

     

    Apologies for the delayed response. This error is often related to the details submitted for Single Touch Payroll. As for the superannuation for subcontractors, it's important to ensure that the contractor is set up correctly. According to the information I've found out about this error, you're using an employment basis code that does not exist. The only ATO STP2 employment basis code that is valid for reporting super liability for contractors is N for non-employees, as per the ATO STP2 Employer Guidance. Choosing the Other (Not reportable) as an employment basis should fix the error.

     

    Please let me know if you need further assistance.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

Hi. I have been using the Employment Basis of 'Other Not Reported' for suppliers for whom we pay the SGC. I have just run a payroll for the super to be paid for these suppliers and I have received an error message - PaymentBasisCode Error: Employment Basis Code in invalid (ATO error code: CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000272. I have not had this error before. Hoping someone can help me asap as I need to have the super organised by the end of this week.

Thanks in advance.

Hey cropserv,

 

The error code "PaymentBasisCode Error: Employment Basis Code in invalid (ATO error code: CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000272)" happens when the employment basis "Other Not Reported" you're using for suppliers isn't being recognised correctly. I found a Community Forum post that seems to address this issue. The key takeaway is that the employment basis "Other Not Reportable" means that payments to contractors are not reported to the ATO. To iron things out, here's what you can do:

 

  • Process pay runs for employees and contractors separately.
  • For contractors, even if a warning message pops up about the error, you can choose to "Record it anyway."

If you still encounter issues, make sure to reach out to our team on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via MyAccount. They'll be able to run things down for you. 

 

Cheers,

Doreen
