    Hi Ccar 

     

    Thanks for your post. Your BAS set up and lodgement is separate to STP. The fields in your BAS are pre-filled based on the tax codes and payroll categories you select when setting up your BAS. If wage amounts are not pre-filling you need to log into online BAS, then:

     

    1. click on Settings
    2. select Set up activity statement fields
    3. at W1 and W2 select the applicable payroll categories
    4. open the current activity statement 
    5. click on Update from ledger

    This help article, Getting ready to lodge activity statements online , has detailed instructions.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

Tracey, the key for me was using the Update from Ledger button.  Worked a treat. Thanks

    Great to hear you got the issue resolved, thanks for letting me know. Anytime you do make changes to the BAS set up remember to click on Update from ledger and you should be all good.

     

    Please don't hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.

        Hi Bdoo 

         

        Can you give me some more information, eg are the amounts in the BAS wrong, have you checked the set up of the BAS fields, is the BAS not loading?

         

        If you can give me as much information as possible I'll be happy to help.
