    Hi RobynCW 

     

    The YTD verification report gets its data from the Employee Card>>Pay History and filters those amounts by the ATO reporting categories assigned to the payroll categories. If a payroll category is not being reported through STP as expected, it indicates that the wrong ATO reporting category has been assigned.
     
    The other reason a payroll category will be excluded from STP is if it has been exempted from PAYG calculations. You haven't clarified if this is the case for the problem payroll category. If it has been exempted, you need to untick that option and then process a $0 pay with payment date as 30 June.
     
    As previously explained, I am not permitted to give advice on the applicable ATO Reporting Category to use, that is something that only tax agents and the ATO are allowed to do.
     
    Please feel free to send me screenshots by private message of the Payroll Activity detail, Payroll Register detail and summary of payments reports.

Hi 

Thanks for the extra information and will send through screen shots as requested via private message.  In answer to the Category/PAYG Exempt; yes it was incorrectly flagged as exempt.  I removed this; saved it (even closed and reopened MYOB), ran a $0 payroll as at 30/6/2021 for the employee effected without success.
