    Hi @Brian_10862278

    If you could please confirm whether you have any employee with the same ABN as the Company ABN?

    Regards

    I am a sole trader, the company pays my regular salary under my Tax file No . Have done this for many years but since Jan 2025 have had 3 rejections on the STP when lodged. Where would I find to see I have put a ABN against the employee name?

    Thank you for confirming @Brian_10862278

    You can find this under Employee details. Go to Employee, then click on 'Edit Details.' Under Tax, you will have an option for ABN Details as in the screenshots below.

    If an ABN is present, please try removing it and then re-submit the STP to the ATO. Let us know how it goes and if you have any concerns. Thank you!

    Thanks. Have resolved the issue. It was trying to use a variable tax rate but was not accepting. Will achieve the result in another way
