Incorrect amount reported at BAS W1
PROBLEM
After updating the Tax Tracking Type – either manually or using the Migration Assistant – the amount reported in the Simplified BAS for W1 – Total of salary, wages, and other payments retains the previous amount.
This is because the Payroll Item that the Tax Tracking Type is linked to is at a transactional level.
Note that this behaviour is an existing issue found in the previous versions, but is more apparent in Reckon Accounts 2023 due to the STP Phase 2 Disaggregation of Gross reporting.
SOLUTION
Refresh the Paycheque to which the Payroll Item was used.
This will more likely affect any pays processed before the Tax Tracking Type is updated for a payroll item.
New pays will be reported correctly.
Detailed Steps
Assume that the Tax Tracking Type has been updated.
- To find and refresh a previous pay that uses the updated Payroll Item, open the Payroll Item Detail report by going to Reports > Employees & Payroll
- Double-click to open the Paycheque
- Click on Paycheque Detail
- Select Unlock Net Pay
- Click OK then click Save & Close
- Open the Simplified BAS/IAS by going to Reports > Tax
- Go to Taxes and Amounts Withheld tab and check the changes for W1
- Otherwise, click on Refresh to update the amount in W1
