Unused Annual Leave on termination not included gross payment why?
Hi Team,
We have updated Unused annual leave wages catergory to Unused leave on termination. When I check the payroll acitivity summary report aganist Single Touch Payroll reporting - View YTD verification report each individual Gross YTD($). The terminated employees unused annual leave weren't included in the gross payment figures.
My understanding is unused annual leave is part of their gross payment for individual tax return.
Thanks
Hi RR111
Thanks for your post. Payments are reported to the ATO according to the ATO reporting category assigned to the payroll categories. This means that only payroll categories assigned the Gross payments ATO reporting category are included in the Gross payments amount. Payroll categories that have changed from Gross payments in Phase 1 to a new ATO reporting category in Phase 2 are reported separately, not included in the Gross payments amount.
What's different in STP Phase 2 reporting
