Company contributions
Trying to create a custom liability payment for super payments, BERT payments, BEWT payments, CIPQ payments and STQ payments for June 2023 - first time since STP Phase 2 upgrade and STP Finalisation 22/23. The super and tax liabilities seem correct however, the other payments are not right?

Hi Andrea
What exactly are BEWT, CIPQ & STQ payments for ? Are these state-specific ? (We don't have those ones here in WA)

Hi Shaz,
Basically they are training funds and income protection in Queensland. We withhold an amount on employee's weekly wages and pay to the respective funds each month.

It sounds like these need to be mapped differently for STP2 then.
Is the employee receiving a tax benefit (eg are they being taxed on their pay AFTER these deductions or before) ? If so, these should be mapped to the new Salary Sacrifice Other Employee Benefits (O). If not (eg if they're deducted from net pay AFTER tax), the mapping should be set to None & will not form part of the figures submitted for STP2.
They need to be set up as Deduction-type Payroll Items

Thanks Shaz.
The amounts are taken from their gross wages. They have been entered as company contributions and tax tracking type "none".
Do I need to change them to "deductions"?

Oh, I see ... Yes, the Company Contribution will be adding to the pay (not deducting from it) ! π¬
Regarding the PAYG Tax, it depends if they should be being taxed on the gross or on the amount after these deductions. (NOTE: If set up to tax after these amounts are deducted, this would mean the employees would essentially be Salary Sacrificing these ! But I think you mean, they're just calculated on the Gross wage amount)
Check the PAYG Tax Payroll Item & each of the Payroll Items for these particular liabilities to check this.
But yes ... these should be set up as Deduction-types & - if deducted from net - None is correct βΊοΈ
