Allowances issue – Sending an Update
Sending an
update event to the ATO can result in your employees income statement to show no
amounts. The is due to how to ATO receives & processes updates on their
end. The idea behind an update is that this will be sent to clear the Year to
Date (YTD) figure and a new event will be submitted with the correct YTD
amounts. In the case your last lodgement is 30/06, you will need to contact the
ATO if this occurs.
If your lodgement was on 30/06/2024 follow steps 1-6.i, if
your lodgement did not fall on 30/06/2024, follow all steps:
