There are four types of deductions that need to be shown separately in STP Pay Events to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Salary Sacrifice amounts to be included in Reportable Employer Superannuation Contributions (RESC)
Other Salary Sacrifice amounts
Workplace Giving
Union Fees
To allocate deductions to report correctly in STP you need to select the appropriate options in the STP Reporting of the Deductions.
STP Reporting for Deductions:
Go to Payroll, Maintenance, General, Additions and Deductions.
Edit the deduction you need to change and click on the STP Reporting tab.
Under STP Phase 2, select the Reporting Group.
If the deduction is a Salary Sacrifice for Super or another reason, select Salary Sacrifice.
If the deduction is for Workplace Giving or Union Fees, select Deduction Items.
When Salary Sacrifice or Deduction Items has been selected, you need to include a Reporting Subgroup.
Subgroups for Salary Sacrifice are either S (Superannuation (RESC)) or O (Other Employee Benefit).
Subgroups for Deduction Items are either F (Fees) or W (Workplace Giving).
