    Hello Jules23 

     

    STP uses the assigned ATO reporting categories to report payments to the ATO, however, the BAS then uses the Payroll Categories found in Payroll Categories >> Wages tab. For the bereavement payment to appear in the W1 field, you will need to check that they have been selected in your BAS set up.

     

    You can do this by logging into your BAS and clicking on Settings >> Set up activity statement fields >> Add Code or Category. You should be able to check there to ensure that the Payroll Category used for the berevement pay is included in the list.. Once you have selected the missing categories, click on Update from ledger in the top right corner of the BAS lodgment screen to update those settings.

     

    Alternatively, you may find a Setup button on the form itself, next to the field in question, and from there you can ensure bereavement pay is included in the W1 calculation.

     

    Let me know how you get on and if I can be of any further assistance.

    Emily_B  Thank you.  I had actually done all as you suggested however I had failed to click Update from Ledger.  Once I updated it as you suggested,  it calculated correctly. Thank you very much for your detailed reply.
