STP2 - assigning payroll categories

Hi- we will move to STP2 after EOFY - just wondering if all payroll categories ( including unused/ old/ allocated a z to move out of range ) will all require a STP2 payroll category assigned  -  ie will it stop me from transitioning if there is even one payroll category that hasnt been given a STP2 Reporting Category? 

Thanks Chris

    Hi Chris10, 

     

    If those payroll categories have been payroll used in the current and previous payroll year they will be included in the check and will need to be assigned.

     

    Do let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hi Chris10, 

     

    Thanks for your post. Wages, superannuation and deduction payroll categories used in the current and previous payroll year are included in the check. Each of these must have an ATO reporting category assigned. By default, this is set to To be assigned, so you know what payroll categories still need assigning. More information on this is available on our help article Getting ready for STP Phase 2.

      Hi Melisa,

      thanks for your quick reply.

      If some of the payroll categories that are old/ unused are left with the To Be Assigned category- will this still allow us to transition to STP2 ? 

      thanks
