Answer
If you need to correct previously submitted year-to-date (YTD) totals and resend the data to the ATO, you can do so at any time.
Step 1 ÔÇö Correct the Figures
First, make sure the underlying payroll data is correct.
- In the desktop app: edit the pay directly under Pays, or use the YTD adjustment wizard at Employees >> Year to Date >> Adjust YTD Totals.
- In the online (web/mobile) app: edit the pay under Pays, or go to Employees >> YTD >> YTD Adjustments to add a YTD adjustment for the employee.
Step 2 ÔÇö Resubmit to the ATO
Once the figures are correct, resubmitting follows the same process as a normal STP lodgement. Go to the last pay run of the relevant financial year and select Single Touch >> Submit Payroll To ATO.
Because the pay run has already been reported, Lightning Payroll will offer an update event (refresh YTD figures) rather than a new pay event. Tick Final pay for the financial year? if you are finalising employees for the year, then preview and submit as normal.
