Hi Earl,

 

Thank you for your welcome, and for your reply.

 

Regarding that category, I don't actually have that as an option to select. The dropdown box only has 'To be assigned', 'Not reportable' and 'Salary Sacrifice and RESC'.

 

Is there any way to add the additional category?

 

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Kind regards,

Nal

Hi nal1,

Thanks for your response. Yes, you'll need to select the RESC (Reportable Employer Super Contributions).

Regards,
Earl

      Hi nal1,

      Thanks for confirming. The reporting rules for Salary Sacrifice vary between STP and Activity statements due to their distinct purposes. On Activity statements, the income reported at W1 excludes the salary sacrifice amount. Conversely, for STP, the Gross amount on the Income Statement includes the pre-salary sacrifice amount, with the Salary Sacrifice amount reported separately. The ATO deducts the Salary Sacrifice amount when calculating the Total Gross amount on the Income Statement. These rules aid organizations like the ATO and Centrelink in evaluating employee earnings and verifying Super Guarantee amounts.
       

      In MYOB AccountRight, if set up following the Salary Sacrifice instructions, the Wages on the Register Summary report represents the Pre Salary Sacrifice gross, while the salary sacrifice appears in the Deductions column. Typically, if the salary sacrifice isn't included in W1, it could indicate that it wasn't set up correctly in the deduction tab within the payroll category. You can refer to the help article "Salary sacrificing" for more detailed information on this topic.
