MYOB AR EOFY Finalisation STP

Hi all, this is the first year I am doing a STP EOFY using AR2020.2 

One of my clients that pays wages Fortnightly has already finished payruns for 2020 so I thought I would do the finalization.

I did a couple of things first

Printed out both Payroll Activity and Payroll register for the Year

 

I then started the process for STP Finalisation

When the individual employee total come up there is two employees that report different Gross wages compared to the Payroll Activity Report which then differs in total Gross.  The Payg withheld and Super balance.

 

There was no Salary Sacrificing , Can someone please help me to understand why this is happening.  

 

I have done a Detailed Report comparision and have discovered that when a Payrun has Holiday LL (it's category is Gross Payments) STP is not reporting it. Does anyone know why

    Hi Janeamanda 

     

    Thanks for your post. Check that the Leave Loading payroll category has been ticked exempt from PAYG Withholding as this will exclude it from STP. To check this go to Payroll Categories, open the payroll category and click on the Exempt button. If it has been ticked, you would need to untick it and then process a $0 pay to update STP.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    I have just come accross this as well and MYOB support suggested I had made errors, searching the community it is stated several times when you have fixed your errors run a $0 payroll to correct the ATO Portal.  

    You actually need to run a $0 payroll to fix the glich that MYOB have in their finalisation report (including terminated employees)

    My paroll matched the ATO Portal it was just the STP EOFY Finalisation report that was coming up with random figures

      Thank you Michellec65, 

      I discovered that the employee processing the wages exempted Payg from Leave Loading, I guess to obtain more money Net when they are paid for Annual Leave .  This would have been acceptable so long as the Business Owner ok'd it but since STP it throws the balances out.  So all fixed now.  Thank you for taking the time to respond.

      Yes that was the problem, the employee had ticked exempt from tax. Thank you so much

      Hello,

       

      I have the same problem but the suggested solution is not applicable.

       

      We have 4 employees. Every pay run includes either 3 or 4 pays (one casual sometimes skips a week). The EOFY Finalisation total does not agree with the Gross Payments as shown in the Payroll Reporting Centre (Reports tab - added up the 52 weeks manually) or any of the regular payroll reports.

       

      The difference is exactly one pay run for 2 of our employees. Can't tell which one of the last 9 pay runs - they have all been identical. But that makes no sense to me because all 9 of those pay runs have been for 3 employees. The figures for the third employee all match.

       

      The payroll reports for those 2 employees also shows that exact same difference from the EOFY Finalisation. Employees 3 and 4 are in agreement between EOFY Finalisation and the other reports.

       

      I checked out the solution above. None of our payroll categories have been marked as exempt from tax, so that's not it.

       

      Any help would be much appreciated, so that we can get this fixed and "Set as final".

       

      Thanks,

      Ray

        Hi Ray

         

        I also had no errors in my wages but just ended up doing the zero payroll run and lodging it to ATO and this fixed the bug in MYOB. don't foget to remove your leave accruals btw
