If the STP Year to Date Report has a difference or employees are missing, check the following:
Ensure all Pay Events have been reported to the ATO.
Check that End of Pay has been completed and that there are no current transactions.
Complete an STP Update (Payroll, Transactions, Import and Export) for the current Tax Year for all employees. Do not Mark All as Final Pay.
If the difference relates to a Salary Sacrifice, Superannuation (RESC), check the deduction setup, STP Reporting tab if Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE) has been selected.
To update:
Select, Payroll, Maintenance, General, Additions and Deductions.
Edit the deduction(s).
Select the STP Reporting tab.
Untick Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
Complete an STP Update.
Run the STP YTD Report.

If the difference relates to an Employment Termination Payment (ETP).
PAYGW ETP Tax is separated from PAYGW (Tax) in STP Reporting. This is reflected by having two PAYGW tax values in the Pay Event YTD columns. One will appear against PAYGW and the other will appear under Employment Termination Payments (ETPs) against O - Other Reasons (PAYGW).
The Payroll YTD column includes all Tax withheld against the PAYGW component (including the ETP Tax), causing a value to appear in the difference column. The ETP Tax value is also displayed against Employment Termination Payments (ETPs) against O - Other Reasons (PAYGW).
The difference that appears for the PAYGW for employees with an ETP is expected. When you review the employee in STP Update, the tax will be separated as per the Pay Event YTD column and will need to be totaled together to balance to the Payroll Report.

The report will not run if an employee has been paid both an ETP Tax Free (Pre July 83) and ETP - Taxable (Post June 83). This is a display issue and will be fixed in a future release. Please continue with EOFY and click on the articles below for reconciling EOFY:
