Reversing a payroll entry
I have processed an employee with the wrong tax amount taken out via AccountRight, Payroll function. This has been sent to the ATO. Note that I do not have auto EFT payments set up so the correct amount has been EFT into the employee account.
I have looked at all the links but I can not find step by step on how to reverse this.
Hi TriciaWaters
Thanks for your post. To reverse a payroll transaction:
- go to Find Transactions, find that pay transaction and open it by clicking on the zoom arrow
- click on Edit and select Reverse Transaction
- If the pay being reversed is a cheque or electronic payment, a message will be displayed advising it will be recorded as cash. Click Yes to proceed.
-
Click OK to the following confirmation message:
-
Click Record to process the reversal.
- When prompted to declare the reversal to the ATO, enter the name of the Authorised sender and click Send.
