      Hi Leneth,

       

      I've set it up at the first place before I ask the support. the matter was the manager did not tell me what the country is that the WHM come from.

      So, I could not sent out STP to ATO. That was why I'd have a help from MYOB support team.

      Up to today, when I entered the country and the STP report is able to be sent out.

       

      Thank you very much for your support.

  • Good afternoon, I have set up an employee as the Working Holiday Maker - Registered Tax Table. This is currently set at 15% tax. He is above he threshold and has requested I deduct 32.5% tax. How do I do that please?  Thank you

        Hi Sherry,

         

        Thank you for getting back to me.

        I have done the above. How do I change the PAYG to deduct 32.5% please?

         

        Thank you

        Steph

  • Can I set up another PAYG withholding category to make up the additional tax to 32.5%?
