Salary Sacrifice Not showing in correct area

LisaHJHB

I have a client who has staff members that Salary Sacrifice. This was not set up correctly in the back ground and has not reduced the Gross income on there payment summary. I have now fixed this going forward. My questions are:

In the Final Pay Event is this meant to show the Gross as the Gross minus the Salary Sacrifice amount?

How to I fix the previous year to show the correct amount for Salary Sacrifice and the correct Gross wages?

@LisaHJHB This is a known glitch that randomly occurs sometimes. See my instructions to correct it in an older post:

Apologies … read your post in a hurry! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes, the gross payment should actually be the “Adjusted Gross” figure(s) in RAH with the SS amount shown in the RESC column.

How to fix prior years will depend on a number of factors including where the discrepancy has occurred/reflected previously, whether the payroll/financials/tax returns have been lodged & whether the Tax Agent has already made any adjustments as a result!

The financials in the clients info is correct and has not been lodged. There have been no adjustments as yet made to the 2020-2021 payroll.

The employee has not as yet lodged her tax return for the 2021 year, hence the reason that we need to get it fixed. She has been taxed the correct amount on the reduced income.

" ... I have now fixed this going forward ..."

If this is the case, it would normally also apply the correction(s) historically (depending on specific changes made). What did you do to fix it?

I created a new Salary Sacrifice payroll item and added that to the employee area. The original set up was not set up as a Salary Sacrifice item. (In the Super Contribution tab).

OK. How was it set up originally & where did it (incorrectly) map to in the STP submissions?
