Check the grossed-up FBT figures are correct in Single Touch Payroll (STP).

To enter fringe benefits for each employee:
Go to Payroll, Transactions, Adjustments, Create or Modify.
Select the Employee Code.
Select Add new pay – start with an empty pay.
Enter a Pay Description and click Accept (F9).
In the New Line Type field, select E = Employer Contribution/Super.

Process Reportable Fringe Benefits
In the Process Pays Workflow, click Check Pays.
Set the Pay Period Ending and Date Paid as follows:
If you are entering your FBT transactions BEFORE your last pay, both Pay Period Ending and Date paid will be 31/03/2025.
If you are entering FBT transactions AFTER processing the last pay, then the Pay Period Ending is 30/06/25 and Date Paid is 31/03/25. This will ensure the dates appearing in the employees’ income statement are correct.
📌Note: If the Date Paid is after the 31/03/2025, the fringe benefits entered will be incorrectly reported in FY25.
Select Adjustment Pays only.
Select the options and Print (F9).
Go through the rest of the Process Pays Workflow as normal to process pays and report to the ATO via STP.
