ATO Payment Summary Report

This article is for users who want to run ATO Payment Summary Report.

This report displays the exact amounts that will appear on optional ATO Payment Summaries. So, if you have configured Allowances, Union Fees, RESC etc. appropriately for both ATO Payment Summaries and STP Reporting, then this report will balance with your STP year to date figures.

1. Navigate to Reports > ATO Payment Summaries > ATO Payment Summary Report.
2. Use this report to check/balance ATO payment summaries.
3. This report displays the exact amounts that are going to print on the employee’s individual ATO payment summaries.
   • Total Gross – Refers to the overall total taxable payments made to the employee via payslips processed through the payroll. This is referencing the Gross Wages field from the Employee / Payments / ATO Summaries screen.
     Total Gross = PS Gross + Lump Sum A + B + D + E + CDEP + ETP + Pre Tax Allowances flagged to show separately on payment summary. 
   • Total Tax - Refers to the overall total amount of tax that has been withheld from the employee via payslips processed through the payroll. This is referenced in the Tax Paid field in Employee / Payments / ATO Summaries.
     Total Tax = PS Tax + ETP Tax. 
   • PS Gross – Refers to what will show in the Year to Date Gross field in STP Reporting. This is referencing the Summary Gross field from the Employee / Payments / ATO Summary screen.
     PS Gross = Total Gross - Lump Sum A - B - D - E - CDEP – ETP - Pre Tax Allowances flagged to show separately on the payment summary. 
   • PS Tax – Refers to what will print in the Year to Date Tax field in STP Reporting. This is referencing the Summary Tax field in Employee / Payments / ATO Summaries.
     PS Tax = Total tax – ETP Tax. 
   • The ETP Gross and ETP Tax figures can be found in the employee file under Employee > Payments > ATO Summaries screen > ETP tab. These fields will only be accessible once the employee has been terminated.
   • You can now also check the figures against the new Payment Date Report under Reports > By Payment Date > Payment Summary > Year to Date, the figures shown will be the figures as per the EFT Banking process date.
     
4. This is the final check before printing, that everything balances to your Payment Summary YTD. If you have been selecting financial year to date, as opposed to customizing your date range, you will need to run the financial year differences report by navigating to Reports > Payment Summary > Financial Year differences if your Period End dates selected are not 01/07/2020 - 30/06/2021.
