Description

A change has been made to the way in which gross earnings are reported in Single Touch Payroll (STP) for payees with an income type/payee type of Labour Hire (LAB) if deductions have been taken from gross earnings.

...

Info

While FastTrack360 does not prevent gross deductions from being applied based on the payee type, only payees with an income type/payee type of Individual Non Business (INB) can salary sacrifice their earnings. Therefore, it is recommended that gross deductions are only applied to INB payees. In STP reporting, YTD salary sacrifice amounts are reported as separately itemised amounts for INB payees.

Earnings paid to LAB payees are considered business/personal services income and such income cannot be salary sacrificed. Because of that, there is no way to report salary sacrifice amounts in STP for LAB payees.

Benefits

This enhancement provides compliance with ATO requirements for reporting of gross payments to payees, whereby the reported YTD gross amount must be the pre-salary sacrifice amount.

Configuration

No configuration required.
