STP REPORTING showing zero dollar amounts

[Carol19]

I am seeing zero amounts in STP reporting when the reporting date is after the payment date.  Does this mean the ATO will not have year to date totals.  Some of our clients prepare and pay on the weekend and I do not get the information until the following Monday so cannot report on or before the payment date.  Is there anything I can do in this situation.  I have attached a report showing what I am talking about.

Thanks

Hi @Carol19,

Thank you for your post. 

I will attach a link below that may shed some light on this particular process and how to report accordingly:

Thank you Sam,

Your answer was very helpful, however I am not sure if  those pays were showing as zero on the STP accepted by the ATO need to be deleted and re-entered or if the STP reporting updates the YTD figures each pay event when it is reported, so that the YTD would be correct when I have entered pays with the correct dates, and I would not need to delete and re-enter those pays where the pays were done after the payment date.

Hi @Carol19,

The YTD figures are still being reported to the ATO with each pay event, so you will not need to reverse and reprocess these, however, for any future pay runs that will be past dated I would advise sending these as "Report as new pay run" to avoid the $0 amounts displaying on the reporting centre. 

Let me know if I can assist any further.
