Final STP Report Data Screen


This screen shows the final Payee Income Statement Data assembled by STP Creator based on the previous selections. All amounts have been totalled and grouped by the relevant reporting field. Initially the table displays only those STP Fields selected for STP Reporting. You can click the 'Show all STP Fields' to see all the STP Fields. Note you will be warned if a STP Field not selected for display has in fact data in it.





When you complete the Lodge process, all the Payee Data from the table on this screen will be sent to the ATO. Note that for each Payee included in this table, this will replace all previous STP Reports sent to the ATO for this Payroll Year, irrespective of any Pay Period settings.


Amount Fields

Gross Amt

This field shows the total of the Gross Amount column. The Gross Amount column is meant to show the pre-salary sacrifice total earned by this Payee, less amounts separately reportable, such as Overtime, Leave, Allowance etc.


PAYGW Amt

This field shows the total of the PAYGW Amount column. The PAYGW Amount column is meant to show the PAYG tax deducted from normal salary and wage payments (not ETP's).


SGC Amt

This field shows the total of the Super Guarantee Amount column. The Super Guarantee Amount column is meant to show the Super Guarantee Amounts paid based on Ordinary Times Earnings. This should not include any other amounts, for example additional employee contributions, additional Employer contributions or Spouse Contributions.


All Income

Due to the changes for Phase 2, where Gross Amount is pre-salary sacrifice and Overtime, Bonuses, Leave, Allowances etc are not included, we have added a new column (Income Check) to provide a 'total net income' amount for checking against your Payroll Reports.


This All Income field shows the total of the Income Check column. The Income Check column shows the total of the income columns less the Salary Sacrifice amounts.


All Tax

This field shows the total of the PAYG deducted from Salary and Wages as well as ETP's


W1

For a Pay Event, this field shows the total of the W1 reported by the Payer for the period, this amount should be net of any salary Sacrifice amounts. For an Update Event this is zero.


W2

For a Pay Event, this field shows the total of the W2 reported by the Payer for the period. For an Update Event this is zero.


CS Garn

For a Pay Event, this field shows the total of the Child Support Garnishee deductions reported by the Payer for the period. For an Update Event this is zero.


CS Dedn

For a Pay Event, this field shows the total of the Child Support Deductions reported by the Payer for the period. For an Update Event this is zero.

Buttons

Copy Table

Copy table to clipboard for pasting to another application. This can be useful to resolve any discrepancy, or for reference purposes.


Lodge

Click here to transmit table data to the ATO.


Save Image File

Click here to save a read-only image file of all data used in this Report - do this after you Lodge the report. This can be useful for reference purposes when analysing a discrepancy.


Show all STP Fields

Click here to alternate between displaying used STP Fields only or All STP Fields. STP Creator will send all fields to the ATO, even if you choose to Display only those fields you are using. All fields are required by the ATO, however unused fields are hidden for your convenience.


When you first open this screen, you will be alerted with a Warning if there is a field with data however you have not selected that Field on the STP Fields table, for example

"Mary Smith has a value for Termination date however this STP Fields is not Selected".



Final Indicator

A Final Indicator is used to notify the ATO that the YTD Payment Details submitted here are the 'Final' amounts for the year. Setting the Final Indicator = TRUE is like providing both the Payee and the ATO with a Payment Summary (now called an Income Statement). It is your sign-off for this Payee.


In every STP Report, by default the Final Indicator is set to FALSE - see relevant column. Click here to report a set Final Indicator to TRUE for the selected Payees for this STP Report (whether it is a regular Pay Event or an Update Event). This is usually done at the end of the payroll year or when finalising a Payee during a Payroll Year.


Reset Final Indicator

If you set the Final Indicator to TRUE by mistake or have changed you mind, click here to change the Final Indicator back to FALSE for the selected Payees. The Final Indicator setting (whether TRUE or FALSE) is for this STP Report only.


Set all to Zero & False

Use this to set all amounts on screen to zero and all True/False indicators to FALSE. There may be instances where you want to 'clear' all Payee Data submitted in previous reports using STP Creator, for example if you are moving to a different STP product. By setting all the amounts to zero, then setting the Final Indicator to TRUE for all Payees, and then lodging this report, you will effectively set the Income Statement for all Payees to Zero and Tax Ready. If unsure what you are doing, we recommend you check with Namich before using this function.
