Allowances issue – Sending a Replacement

Allowances issue – Sending a Replacement

In order for a replacement to be submitted you will need to redo all the employees pays that were included in the final pay run, along with ensuring nothing for the new financial year has been submitted. A replacement will ensure the original lodgement itself is fully replaced with the new, corrected figures. If you have submitted a lodgement through STP after your End of Financial Year Lodgement, you will need to do an update.

1. Download and install the latest Update v12.4.1

2. Make sure you are in the 2024 financial year, to change this go to [Tools], [Financial Year], [View Previous Financial year] and select 2024 in the drop-down then save.

3. Delete the last pay for the 2024 financial year:

a. In the Employees section of Wages, select the employee’s name.

4. Go to [Modify Employee], then select [Superannuation], and under [Employer Superannuation] change the super rate to 11%.       

5. Make sure the details of the pay are exactly as they were before and click [Calculate].

Now that the pay is processed it will appear in the Single Touch Payroll function.

Note: If you have re-processed the pays for an entire pay run (all employees), ensure all employees are ticked
