Assigning a specific category in STP2 for cents/km allowance paid in payroll
I have a c/km allowance that has been paid and taxed through payroll. When assigning a categoy in STP2, I am receiving error messages from ATO when i try to send the payroll through to Payroll Reporting. I have tried all obvious categories, but the message is the same: "Allowance items must be left blank"
I cannot find a way to do this, especially as the item is taxable. Further, the item is noted on the MYOB help site table - the final instruction is to assign to Gross Payments when it doesn't fit into another category. This is not accepted either.
Any ideas?
I am also receiving a rejection re a casual, paid hourly employee who does not receive paid leave which states that "Paid leave must be left blank". there are no leave categories that apply to this employee.
Hi Gina4m
Any errors that relate to "xxxx must be left blank" are generally caused by an incorrect Income Type selected in the employee card. You can check if the error has been resolved before the next pay run by processing a $0 pay for those employees, wait until that report has been sent and then check the Status.
If you continue to get errors please let me know.
