Hi, New user and not smart apparently.

have fine 12 months of STP, this last financial year. Problem is creating report for the same period as STP reporting however super figure for year is a different total. It’s out by about 10%

Spoke with Reckon support and found this forum may suit my needs better as to how to get the fix or find an explanation as to why it’s different.

    Hi @EMDPG

    During your payruns throughout the 2021/22 year have you been paying super to employees over and above the (now former) 10% default rate?

    The reason I ask is, currently the End of Financial Year finalisation screen in the Payroll App displays super balances paid at the default rate.

    RESC components such as salary sacrifice and additional super paid over the default rate are correctly captured by the Payroll app and sent to the ATO as part of your STP submissions including the EOFY finalisation however any balances associated with RESC just do not visibly appear in the finalisation screen at this stage ie. its a display issue only.


    Does this apply in your instance? ie. were you changing the super % paid to employee(s) during creation of a pay run to something over the default %?

    Yes, have paid above default value but actual fugues via alternative spreadsheets and actual STP payslip YTD figures equate.??

    Yes that sounds right for this situation, any additional super paid above the default rate ie. RESC will appear in the individual pay run, payslips along with the payroll summary report (premium plan feature).

    The EOFY submission will report your earnings, tax, super (including RESC), allowances and deductions as required.

    Its just that visually the super balances that you see in that EOFY finalisation on-screen in the app will only display the balance of Super Guarantee at the default 10% rate at the moment. Any balances over and above the 10% super that was paid to employees in your pay runs and any salary sacrifice are classed as RESC and I can assure you the app has recorded this correctly, it just doesn't display it in a couple of areas at the moment, with the EOFY finalisaton screen being one of those places.

    But the figure in the report is showing is 10.74% higher than that of my other “actual “figures. So that Is different to what your saying??

    What report are you referring to? The EOFY finalisation submission in the app itself or something else?

    Sorry, perhaps I’ve worded that wrong. The payroll summary created in the reports function of the app.

    Ok cool, so yes as mentioned above the Payroll Summary report in the app will show RESC ie. the full balance of super and/or salary sacrifice which is why the balance you see in that report is 'higher' than what you see in the EOFY finalisation and Pay Summary screens.

    Your RESC is in the EOFY finalisation submission, its just not displayed visually as it only lists the amount at the default rate which was 10%.

    I’m sorry but your explanation sounds different to what I am trying to get across.

    First, I incorrectly named the Payment summary as a report.

    What I am looking at is the Payslip YTD figure of the last one for the financial year. That figure for argument sake is $8100.

    I use a separate spreadsheet to calculate my wages Gros, Tax, Nett and Super calculated slightly above default. That figure also shows $8100.

    Payslip and my spreadsheet agree with each other.

    Within the app from the “home screen” I go to reports.

    On the “payroll summary tab” I select the dates Start and End corresponding to the payslip dates.

    It generates a payment summary which the Gross, Tax & Net all equate to my other 2 points of interest however the super on this summary shows higher, for argument sake $9110.

    From the wording of your explanation, I feel that your saying is opposite to what I’m trying to explain. If everything manually inputted is matching between points of interest, and the app generated figure is higher I really don’t see how that is possible.

    Ok, I've been doing a bit of testing to see if I can replicate your results but unfortunately I'm not seeing the same experience as what you've described.

    Can I get you to shoot me a screenshot of the payroll summary report for the full financial year date period along with a screenshot of the the last payslip of the year that shows the year to date balance in the private message.

    As you're on the premium plan you can access your Payroll Account on the web at https://payroll.reckon.com/ if you find it easier to obtain the info that way rather than from mobile.

    I'll see if I can do a bit more testing and if not, I'll have a chat with my dev team to get some insight.

    Sorry, to PM you is that just via clicking on your name in this thread and hit the message icon. Obviously I don’t want to plaster personal info all over the place

    Yep, that's correct. That'll be just sent to me only.
