Dear Support Team, If Company A employees are transferred to Company B, and we need to pay the employees out Co. B, is there a quick and simple method of transferring the employee card information from A to B. Also the two companies have 2 different ABNs. Further what is the quickest way to connect to the ATO for STP 2 for Co. B? Thank you ShanthiSolved78Views0likes10CommentsSTP Report not matching PAYG
Hi The ATO is reconciling PAYGW based on the amounts in the 'STP reports' The STP reports includes PAYGW for deleted & reversed payruns so the PAYG is overstated as it includes double-ups. The activity summary matches the verification report in STP reporting which is lower than the amounts in the 'STP report' section. Is there a way to correct the STP report amounts to match the activity summary & verification report as the ATO is saying that we have underpaid PAYGW ?Solved35Views0likes1CommentSingle Touch Payroll (STP) Phase 1 service is closing down
From the 27th February 2025, customers that have not migrated to STP Phase 2 will be unable to report pay runs to the ATO. To retain access to the reporting centre, STP Phase 1 customers will need to move to STP Phase 2. Customers already reporting on STP Phase 2 will not be impacted. If you are unsure, visit the reporting centre where a visual indicator will show: Reporting on STP Phase 2. STP Phase 1 customers can visit https://www.myob.com/au/support/myob-business/payroll/single-touch-payroll-reporting/getting-ready-for-stp-phase-2 to find out how they will be impacted and how to move.152Views0likes0CommentsAdjusting Termination Payment Lump Sum Category in MYOB
One issue need help. Back to FY22, we submitted an redundancy report to the ATO for an employee who has left the company. It turns out there was a mistake with his income categorization in that report. Paid leave should have been declared under Lump Sum A category rather than grouped together with Salary and wages component. Employee termination payment taxable component should have been declared under Lump Sum D. We tried to go back and correct it in MYOB, but the system doesn’t allow us to make any changes to past two years submissions. Could anyone knows how to fix this issue? Thanks so much!Cannot reverse STP tax amount
Hi guys, I have recently migrated my STP to MYOB and made a mistake during pay run reporting an amount I didn't actually pay. So, to correct it I have made a reversed pay but ATO says I still owe PAYG tax amount. Here is a screenshot from ATO STP reporting page: And here is a screenshot from the MYOB report: How to fix this $822 amount? Any help is highly appreciatedEntering processed payroll into new AccountRight for STP
Hi Payroll has already been processed YTD in an older version that does not report for STP. How do I enter YTD payroll figures into AccountRight ensuring all balances & accounts are correct and then report for STP. Previous financial year was brought in through processing YTD figures in payroll and then not creating a bank file. Thanks.124Views0likes1CommentSTP / IAS PAYG amount not matching MYOB report
ATO business portal IAS PAYG amount not matching MYOB report I accidentally ticked "Yes, report updated pay run" by mistake, instead of "No, report new pay run". This particular pay event has been recorded in MYOB and is correct, but the STP Payroll Reporting Centre has a $0 report as it was noted as a Pay Run Update. Despite correctly entering a subsequent pay event, with the next report having the correct YTD amounts, somehow the amounts have not updated so there is a mismatch with the ATO portal which has the lesser amount (without the "updated" pay run). How do I make sure that this pay event is actually picked up? Do I need to reverse the pay run and then re-enter it clicking "No, report new pay run" I entered the correct details with the IAS report, but this still doesn't match what they expect so am unsure of any repurcussions or issues to come.

Hi team, we have to process an unscheduled payroll for four deactivated employees to amend a payroll for Q2 FY 2022. But when we file it for STP we get this error message for three employees. (Pls see attached) Appreciate your assistance on this. Thank you!Praise for Sean
Trying to get the payroll to balance to the payroll verification report and coming up against a number of challenges. It certainly highlighted some gaps in my understanding of what can go wrong. I finally got on to the right person who told me the difference was caused by some inactive employees. I reinstated those and ran a final paycheque and it fixed the issue. I note that none of these steps were found in the help files. I cant thank Sean enough. Seriously great work. Kevin V Russell257Views1like1Comment
