STP report accepted by ATO ... but ATO data has not updated

Hi GeoffOReilly 

'And before you ask ... yes, unused annual leave is properly set up as a catagory and was successfully used for another terminated employee in April ...' - At the time of the Payrun, how was the properly setup payroll category you used in that pay 'assigned' for STP purposes? How it was assigned is what determines what goes to the ATO.

'It seems there is nothing I can do to fix this, because the STP report has been ACCEPTED and everything in MYOB is correct.' - Accepted by the ATO doesn't mean the data is correct, they will accept any data that complies with the reporting specifications, lodged by an authorised person. It is up to the employer and their software developer (MYOB) to ensure the data reported is correct. If not, any errors in how a payroll category is assigned should be fixed, any payroll errors needs to be fixed, any coding errors need to be fixed and then an Update Event should be submitted to correct the data, which will replace what was previously sent.

'Is this just some delay in the ATO updating it's data?' - The ATO updates data either instantly or shortly thereafter. The ATO however does not manage the MYOB Payroll Reporting Centre. What is shown there is what MYOB decides to show there. There have been numerous 'bugs' involving terminated employees and what data MYOB sends to the ATO and what they display in the Payroll Reporting Centre. 

Suggest you check how the payroll category was assigned and update this post. If it was set up correctly at the time, follow up with a moderator to see if there is an ongoing issue with how this is shown in MYOB's Payroll Reporting Centre. Or moderator might respond once they see your answer.
