Why does the PAYG Payment summary NOT have Overtime reported ?

Tiffany

I was just checking the amounts that have been reported via STP 2 and for some reason the overtime is not reported on the PAYG Payment summary, nor the correct breakdown of the allowances? I have used the the recommended allowances and overtime tax tracking type.

Hi Tiffany

The old Payment Summaries are not STP2-compatible & can therefore no longer be utilised. This is because STP2 has only been developed in latter years since the Payment Summaries were replaced by the online Income Statements (in employees' myGov accounts) 😬

Thanks Shaz it is just that the STP files that are processed do not have all the individual allowances separated on them and I was hoping the Payment Summary would so I can issue them to the employees who ask for it but I will obviously have to tell them to use their final payslip.

Hi Tiffany

They can access what you've submitted via their myGov account.

Many of the other payroll software providers removed their Payment Summaries feature years ago, when they were replaced. We were just fortunate with Reckon to still have it until now 😬
