I just completed my quarterly BAS return for the the period July-September, and in the ATO Business Portal, there was a new monthly PAYG Lodgement to complete, in addition to the quarterly BAS. I entered all the data on PAYG tax withholdings into the forms for each month and the quarter, but now the ATO wants me to pay the withheld tax for both monthly and consolidated quarterly filing, i.e. double the actual withholdings. How do I go about fixing this? I tried to call the ATO and was told "they are experiencing peak traffic so my call will not be answered"

Hey @Andr3wG,
That seems strange. We're going to need some more info from you.
Do you report your PAYG withholding monthly or quarterly normally?
It is PAYGW on your quarterly BAS and not PAYGI isn't it?
