| You CANNOT create an amended EMPDUPE file using AccountRight or AccountEdge. Instead, to submit the updated information to the ATO you will need to use the payment summary paper form available from the ATO. On the ATO's paper form, you'll need to place an X in the box for the option specifying you are "amending a payment summary statement". To help you complete the ATO's paper form, use the verification report generated by your MYOB software when preparing your payment summaries. For more information on amending payment summaries, see the AccountRight help. For more information on correcting a mistake on a payment summary, visit the ATO website. |
