I have again tried to lodge an update event but nothing changed. I have applied the Bonus as ATO category Salary & Wages and also as bonus & Commissions. I have applied it at an hourly rate and as salary. I do not see any option to to apply tax exempt income. I have attempted to follow MYOB instructions to ensure the Payroll Category (pay Item) is set up correctly but instructions seem to be for accountright rather than essentials. Thank you Re: STP Hi Genreve The Bonus category has been inluded in the STP and an update event lodged. Unfortunately, nothing has changed at the ATO end. Still $1000 difference between MYOB and STP records at ATO. Any other thoughts? Thank you Re: STP Thank you for that info. Can I ask if an update event requires us to change amounts? You are correct that the Bonus category was not set up correctly but has since been done. We have processed another 2 pays since the original error. I have not done an update event before and unsure of the process. I have attempted to make changes to payroll errors in the past with bad results. So, just want to make sure we get this right. The Update Payroll instructions do not seem to apply to our version of MYOB essentials. Appreciate your help. Regards Perry STP We posted a Xmas bonus thru STP without the correct ATO category. The payroll was accepted by the ATO but does not show the bonus. How can we adjust at the ATO end without changing the MYOB payroll which is correct? Thank you Pay run and STP Reporting are different I have a payrun in which we have a one off $1,000 bonus to an employee. When I did the payrun the gross and net pays calculated to be correct. However, when I go to the Single Touch Payroll Report the Gross amount is incorrect. The payrun gross is $7,810, but in the STP reporting section it has the Gross at $6,810 (sent to the ATO). This to me looks like it has not reported the $1,000 bonus. In the Single Touch Payroll reporting and the payrun the PAYG for this period is correct. How do I get the Single Touch Payroll reporting to agree with the payrun? Re: Instant asset write off journal entries Thank you Ian. Much appreciated. Instant asset write off journal entries Should I record an instant asset write off as an expense or depreciation via the balance sheet? Thanks Solved
