Single Touch Payroll - Update Lodged Report

From time to time you might need to correct the lodged information. If the employees' Year to Date (YTD) information you last reported doesn't reflect the information in your payroll system, you should lodge an update report, you can send an update either:

• within 14 days of the need for a correction being identified, or
• in the next regular pay event within the same financial year where the affected employee has continuity of employment.

Updating Lodged Pay run

Follow the next steps to update previously lodged pay run:

• Click S.T.P. icon from the application toolbar
• Find the lodged pay run that you would like to correct
• Click the Replace / Update icon
• The single touch payroll report window appears and the report type is set to "Update"

If you see the report type set to Replace, it means this pay run is the last submitted pay run which you can either send a replacement or an update.

• Make sure to include only those employees who had their information incorrectly submitted

You should remove any employee that does not require an update, select the employees then click the delete icon .

• Click Save to save the update report
• Click the Lodge icon
• The lodgement window appears
• Click Lodge to lodge the update report

As per the STP rules, when you try to update a pay run belongs to previous financial year, the pay run must be set to the last date of the financial year "30 June". further more, the system automatically flag the new update as "Final Pay" to mark the financial year as finalised.

No, it is not allowed and the lodgement will fail, you should however lodge standard PAYG payment summary for that financial year.
