Employee Supplied incorrect Tax File number.

Janine Dickson

It appears one of our employees gave us an incorrect tax file number. His details are not appearing in my gov. His accountant is checking this.

If this is the case, how do I fix this for FY23. We completed and finalised FY23 as STP1 and have since upgraded to STP2.

If I am given a new Tax file number, what do I need to do in STP?

Do i do an update event just for him as a final event again?

Will it matter now that we are Phase 2 but the update event will relate to Phase 1.

Also what will i need to do to fix FY24 pays

Hi Janine

You will need to enter the relevant number format in the employee’s record, according to the circumstances:

https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/PAYG-withholding/Payments-you-need-to-withhold-from/Payments-to-employees/Tax-file-number-and-withholding-declarations/

(You’ll also find this info available under the Employee dropdown menu Tax Table Info ☺️)

Then, generate & submit the 2023 Finalise Year again.
