🚨 IMPORTANT INFO - BAS W1 prefill & Salary Sacrifice
ℹ IMPORTANT INFO - BAS W1 Prefill & Salary Sacrifice
Hi everyone,
The ATO have started prefilling BAS from STP Phase 2 data however it has come to our attention that Reckon Accounts Desktop 2023 is not reducing the total gross by the salary sacrifice component and therefore the BAS prefill is showing the incorrect balance.
Example
Gross earnings: $1000.00 - Salary sacrifice: $200.00 = BAS W1 $800.00
Whereas the W1 prefill in Reckon Accounts will show $1000.00
What you currently need to do
The prefill amount is editable and the ATO advises to compare the prefilled amounts and to correct where it does not match your records. See information from the ATO in the screenshot below.
What is Reckon doing about it?
Our teams are reviewing this as we speak and working toward the best way of addressing the issue. More updates and information to follow as soon as possible and will be posted below.
We sincerely apologise for the confusion and inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask below.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone! 🎅🎆

Hi Rav
We have the same issue with the year end for 2023. We submitted the final with STP 2 and employees have advised when doing their annual tax return their super salary sacrifice has been added into their gross income resulting in tax being owed. How do we correct this? Thanks

There is a patch being released towards the end of this month containing a few fixes, including this one - This update in Reckon Accounts Hosted will be automatic. In desktop, it will require a quick installation ☺️

Hi Shaz
Will that fix up my final or should I do a restore and submit again with STP 1 so that employees can lodge their tax?
Also I can't get the super salary sacrifice to appear in the salary sacrifice column and the RESC one in STP 2, it is only reflecting in the RESC, is this an issue?
Thanks Michele

Hi Michele
You'll need to re-generate/export & upload a new Finalise Year file after you install the fix patch. I believe you should still be able to do this in the current (STP2) version (even if it was previously done in STP1)
If the Salary Sacrifice (SS) is Super deducted from the employee's gross before tax, it should display in both the SS & the RESC columns. Did you map the SS to the applicable Tax tracking type ?:

Hi Rav,
My payroll and STP submissions in August were prior to the upgrade of Reckon Accounts for the bug fix. August IAS W1 prefill is incorrect as a result. Do I need to lodge STP update event(s) for August payroll or should I just modify the IAS W1 figure again and ignore the warning that it's different to STP submissions?
I appreciate YTD figures will be ok regardless once I lodge an STP in September, just wondering the best approach for the August IAS.
Thanks

Hi @Wini1010
Your payroll figures are the correct ones to be relied on so I would Revise your August IAS to correct that ☺️
