STP issues - Non reportable Exempt Fringe Benefits

[Jennifer_S]

I'm having issues with the STP 2 reporting to ATO for exempt fringe benefits.

Since the transition to STP 2, i noticed that the exempt benefit got reported to ATO in the MYOB software even though the deductions for exempt benefit had been assigned as Not Reportable in the ATO Reporting Category. 

Previously, in the old STP reporting, it was not reported. I'm aware that it should not be reported. 

How can we fix this issue? Has anyone gone through the same situation?

Just wondering if you had this sorted and if so, how please?  I have just discovered the same issue.

It's now required by ATO that exempt fringe benefits be reported under STP 2.

Hi there,

I've the same issue here where I need to report exempt benefits, from ATO website it says we need to report under SSA (Salary Sacrifice Arrangement), under salary code/type "O" - Other, but I don't know how to do this in MYOB, as the benefits need to be reported in the gross amount but not attracted to PAYG tax, so how do I report this in the EOFY final report? I can see there is a togle in the EOFY finalisation screen called 'Enable RFBA', can I report the exempt benefits in the Section 57A or where shall I report these figures? Any help would be great and thank you in advance.

Hi @MMZZ_2018 

Thank you for your post. 

You can set up salary sacrifice payments for employees who want to make additional superannuation contributions each pay. These payments are deducted from the employee's gross pay and will be on top of the compulsory superannuation contributions you make on your behalf. You can check our Help Article: Set up salary sacrifice superannuation, this includes more details and also includes the process that serves as your guide. 
 

You can also check this Help Article: Reportable fringe benefits amounts (RFBA) with single Touch Payroll Reporting. 

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

Are you satisfied with the response provided?

Can I please have the phone number for the helpdesk helpline.  The number I have appears to be discconnected.  Still reporting incorrectly to ATO and need it urgently fixed.

Some of our employees are entitled to Non Taxable fringe Benefits that were previously non reportable. 

I see on the payment summaries now that they appear as reportable...

I have set them up as - "Salary Sacrifice - other employee benefits" but they are appearing as RFB..

Is this correct?   Will it affect the employees Govt benefits eg: family benefit or child care? 

How do I fix it if its wrong...?   who can advise me? 

thanks Kim
