Hi, I'm a full-time permanent employee of a private company. Our bookkeeper left in December 2024, and since then my employer has stopped issuing payslips, and reporting my income to the ATO via STP.
My salary has remained exactly the same in FY24 and FY25 as it was in FY23. My employer has only reported roughly half my FY24 income to the ATO, and my income statement still shows "not tax ready." I've been receiving the same net fortnightly amount into my bank account throughout.
I've made multiple attempts to contact my employer by phone and text message to resolve this, but he has stopped responding entirely and shows no intention of correcting the STP reporting or finalising my income statement.
When I lodge my FY24 tax return, should I use the partially reported figure showing in my ATO prefill, or my actual salary (which is the same as FY23 and FY24)? I don't have payslips for the second half of the year but I do have consistent bank deposits as evidence.
Any guidance appreciated. Thanks.
