Payroll and STP

Hi Helen64,

 

All pay events lodged with the ATO contain the year-to-date payroll information for the included employees. Therefore, lodging the most recent pay event will include their full earnings for that financial year. While it is possible to re-lodge some previous pay events, if this will cause your pay events to be lodged out of order chronologically I would suggest you lodge an Update Event instead. If you are unsure what information the ATO holds, an Update Event will advise the ATO that this lodgement contains all pays for that financial year. They are not associated with any particular pay run and are used to 'override' previously incorrect lodgements and/or to provide up-to-date earnings information:

 

  1. Go to the Employees tab and select Reports.
  2. Click on Single Touch Payroll (under the ATO Reporting subheading).
  3. Select the Create Update Event button.
  4. Choose the correct financial year and pay schedule, then select Create and follow the prompts to lodge with the ATO.

 

Feel free to reply if you have further questions as I'm here to help!
