Salary sacrifice and STP Phase 2

[Tracey_H]

Hi Everyone

The ATO has changed the way salary sacrifice amounts are reported in STP Phase 2:

• In Phase 1 the Gross payments amount was reduced by the salary sacrifice amount
• In Phase 2 the Gross payments amount is not reduced by the salary sacrifice amount

This means that your STP reports will look different once you've transitioned to Phase 2. Here's an example of the Summary of payments report, the total gross payments is $8387.50 with $300 salary sacrificed:

In Phase 1, Gross payments is reduced by the salary sacrifice amount:

In Phase 2, Gross payments includes the salary sacrifice amount:

More information on this change is available on the ATO website: Reporting the amounts you have paid

If you need further help with this or have any other STP Phase 2 questions please don't hesitate to start a new post.
