Hi, one of our employees is going to work in the US for 18 months. He is remaining as an Australian resident but is being paid by the host country so I need to run a shadow payroll in Australia. We have received calculations from our accountants regarding the income and tax amounts. Our employee will be paid on a monthly basis. We currently use Xero for our payroll STP2 processing but Xero does not support the FEI income type code. Wondering if anyone else has come across this issue and also please advice on how I can report his FEI and Foreign tax withheld and remit Australia PAYG to the ATO on a monthly basis?
