EOFY FINALISATION - SUPER

[VanessaAUT]

We manually do our super payments and although did STP2 category assignments didn't realise that employer expenses were not assigned.

Starting checks for EOFY finalisation and realised that as all our super is assigned as employer expense not super category it doesn't show up in summary of payments or verification reports.

Help - what can be done about this.

Hi @VanessaAUT 

Thanks for your post. 

If you choose the incorrect reporting category, it won't actually appear in the summary. To fix this issue, you only need to amend the reporting category and send an update. 

Let me know if you need further assistance with this. I'm happy to assist

Thanks for responding Cel

My problem is that the employer expense category has no place to assign an ATO STP2 category to it.

Hi @VanessaAUT 

Thanks for for coming back to us and provide an update on the issue. 

As for this matter, If you are already reporting to STP Phase 2, if that is the case you can go to payroll reporting center on the upper right corner it will show reporting to STP Phase 2. 

I hope this helps, Let me know if you still need further assistance with this.

Hi Cel

We manually pay our super through a clearing house.  Our employees super expenses are not entered into the superannuation category on their cards but into employer expense.

In employer expense there is no option to link to an ATO reporting category.  This is a big problem that we didn't realise because when looking at the summary of payments for each employee in the STP reporting it appears that we have not paid any super as the summary has a $0 amount for super.

Can we fix this?

Hi @VanessaAUT 

Thanks for your post and for the updates on your issue .

May I know where exactly did you set your employer expense? May I know on what tab? i.e. wages and salary, deduction  Or if possible can you please send the screenshots so I can check or investigate?

I am looking forward to hearing from you. 

Cheers, 

Cel

As you can see ... super is set up in the employee card under employer expense where the super fund is set up for each employee.  The problem is that there is no STP category assigned so it isn't picked up in the verification report.

Hi @VanessaAUT 

Thank you for sending the screenshots and providing updates on the issue. 

The super should always be set up in the list of superannuation funds after checking. All of the employee superfunds can be added, and the employees can then be linked to the superfunds under the card file. All the categories set up in employer tab sill not have an option to set up ATO Reporting category. 

Feel free to post again if you need further assistance with this.
