Description
An enhancement has been made to the Agency Portal > Payroll Australia > ATO Electronic Report > STP EOFY Submission screen so that the Tax Year field no longer defaults to the current financial year and instead defaults to a blank selection, as shown in the example below.
The change means that if you need to submit a STP EOFY batch to finalise a financial year, you must explicitly select the relevant tax year that is to be finalised so as not to accidentally finalise the incorrect year.
Additionally, on attempting to submit an STP EOFY batch, the following confirmation prompt is now displayed to confirm the pay company and financial year that you are about to finalise:
If you have chosen the wrong pay company or the wrong financial year to finalise, you can click X to cancel submitting the EOFY batch.
Benefits
These enhancements help prevent the wrong financial year or wrong financial year/pay company being finalised through STP at the end of a financial year.
Configuration
No configuration required.
