Transmitting Data to GovConnect

Once the GovConnect application has opened. If by default it has not opened to the Reckon Accounts Desktop or Hosted option, click on the Reckon Accounts Desktop or Hosted tile. The upload button should then be present.

 

Reckon Accounts Hosted will default to the Q: drive. The file can be uploaded to GovConnect within the Hosted session. Alternatively, the file can be downloaded to your local machine ready to upload to GovConnect from your local environment. 

Find the file you exported from Reckon Accounts Desktop and click open. The data will then be saved to the application and viewable in a list of transmissions.

To view more information about the data, click the Detail option. To submit to the ATO click Submit. The submission process is detailed further into this document. Once you have clicked Detail, information about the individual pay event will appear on screen.

This detail includes whether it is a full file replacement, the total gross and PAYG amounts of the pay run as well as the individual employees detail. It should be noted that the employee data is displayed in year to date amounts as per the rules of Single Touch Payroll, whilst the Total Gross and Total PAYG is the pay period amount.

If you want to dig deeper into the data, click Detail next to a employees record and you can see a break down of their individual pay run and information about the employee.

 

This allows you to view the full break down of the information that will be submitted to the ATO on behalf of each employee as well as the personal details that will be submitted. The breadcrumb menu allows you to easily get back to the home page or employee list.

 

Click Employee List to return to the individual pay event or Home to get to the pay event list.
