    Hi Marli,

     

    Thank you for your response. 
     
    It's important to note that there can be a delay in the reflection of updated information on the ATO site. This latency is usually due to the time it takes for the ATO systems to process and update the data sent through STP Phase 2. While the exact time can vary, it's generally expected to be within 24 to 48 hours. However, if you've already waited beyond this period and the information still hasn't been updated, please check the YTD verification report from STP to verify the changes and reach out to ATO for further assistance.
     
    Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

     

    Cheers,

Hi Princess,

Thank you for your help and link to the STP section.  I sent an update event thru STP Phase 2 although it did not direct me to select any individual employee and it processed the event for all 10 employees listed and the Gross figure did not change when I went back into the ATO site under the PAYG tax withheld section to finalise my BAS.  There was reference that "pay event reporting data has been successfully pre-filled".  Not sure what I need to do now.  Any ideas please?
