Before you can report payroll and super information to the ATO, you need to assign an ATO reporting category to each of your pay items. The ATO reporting category indicates the type of payment you're reporting (is it a gross wage amount or an allowance?).
While it's similar to how pay items were assigned to payment summary fields, there are some important differences. For example, some ATO reporting categories have been renamed and you now need to report superannuation amounts.
Below is a summary of the new ATO reporting categories. To help you assign the right category, we've included a comparison to the previous payment summary reporting fields.
Need help assigning ATO reporting categories?
Note that we can only provide general information. If you're unsure of what's appropriate for you, we recommend talking to your advisor or the ATO. You can also see the ATO guidelines for more information.
- Go to the Payroll, then click Pay items.
- Click the ellipses button (...) for the pay item and select Edit.
- From the ATO reporting category list, choose the appropriate category.
- Click Save.
- Repeat for all pay items.
Don't forget to assign categories to your superannuation categories!
Earnings and deductions
| New ATO reporting category | Old Payment Summary field name | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Payments | Step 3, Assign earnings and deductions
| |
Allowance - Car | Step 3, Assign earnings and deductions
| Certain types of allowances and deductions need to be itemised as they were on Payment Summaries (like the type of allowance). However, for Single Touch Payroll reporting, each item needs to be grouped and reported using a specific category. Amounts in these payroll categories may be used to prefill your employees' tax returns. Withholding for allowances (ATO website) |
Lump Sum A - Termination | Step 5, Enter other income items

CDEP Payments | Step 5, Enter other income items

ETP coming soon. You'll need to report any ETPs using a paper form from the ATO.
Superannuation

Superannuation Guarantee | New | This is the first time employers have been required to report this information to the ATO. It's requried to check that employee super funds are receiving the correct amounts. |
| Reportable Employer Super Contributions | Step 3, Assign earnings and deductions
| We'll be adding RESC to AccountRight's list of ATO Reporting Categories for superannuation payroll categories in the next few months (before you need to start reporting via Single Touch Payroll). You'll then be able to use this to assign superannuation categories which handle 'reportable' superannuation payments (as classified by the ATO guidelines). |
