Hi
We process a couple of lump sum amounts for super as salary sacrifice at the end of each year. Prior to STP we would process it in 2 steps 1. As a Pay Item in Wages so it would be included in Gross Payments and show correctly as Salary Scarifice Expense on P&L.
2. As a Superannuation Item called Salary Sacrifice with ATO category RESC and Contribution type Salary Sacrifice deduction going to the correct Payables account.
So the net Pay would be zero and the information flowed correctly to the PAYG Summaries. There was no SG on this.
Now with STP when I have done this it is showing as a negative Gross payment overall and zeroed out my Gross Payments for the Year for the individual as reported to the ATO in the STP payrun reports, but the Employee reportable is correct. MYOB reports look fine when I print them but concerned that the information to the ATO is not correct especially the gross. What is the best way to show the lump sum payment and is SG now payable on salary sacrifice amounts?
