The treatment of how Salary Sacrifice is reported to the ATO was brought in with the adoption of STP2.
In the following example the employee is paid $80,000 and has a sacrifice of $5,000.
In STP Phase 1 you reported the post-sacrificed income = to $75,000
In STP2 you are required to report the pre-sacrificed income = to $80,000 as well as the amount of salary sacrifice = to $5,000.
The Income Statement will display the total Earnings from the Employer (both Taxable and non-taxable earnings).
Note: This scenario will only happen if you have changed your WageEasy software from STP to STP2 mid financial year.
Employee's may need to reach out to the ATO or an Accountant for assistance or clarification on completing a Tax Return.
