An employee is salary sacrificing $9000 of their gross income (made up of taxable salary and allowances). Some allowances are reported as Allowance 6 and reported from there. His gross amount has reported a negative due to the salary packaging as it the allowances are not being included.
Gross salary and allowances reported as gross - $8932.10
Taxable allowances reported as Allowance 6 - $829.08
Total - $9761.18
Salary packaging of $9000 for super + $105.50 for remote rent = $9105.50
Amount reported for STP -
Gross - $ -173.40
Other Allowances - $829.08
The negative gross has returned as a warning on our STP Payload. Can you please advise if this is the correct way to report this to the ATO and if there are any problems with allowing the negative gross to continue as the employee has enough funds to cover with those allowances reported as Allowance 6.
Thanks
