PAYG payment summary going online
I have just become aware that PAYG Payment Summary Statement (that is prepared as part of the closing the payroll year process), can no longer be sent in via magnetic media. In previous years I have copied it to a CD for clients who have mailed it to the ATO. It now has to be lodged on-line. In order to be prepared for this you need to have the following:

End of Year MYOB payroll guides
Remember, the key deadlines for your payroll year are 14th July for payment summaries, 28th July for superannuation, 28th July for your Business Activity Statement (if you report quarterly) and 14th August for lodging your PAYG annual report with the Australian Taxation Office.
Remember also that you can no longer send in your end-of-year payment summaries to the ATO on a CD or USB. You now have to submit this file electronically.
And yes, the tax table rates have changed slightly with changes in the Medicare levy and student loan repayment thresholds. You don't have to upgrade to the latest version of MYOB in order to update your tax tables. Give me a ring if you need help. I have an end of year payroll year checklist and can work with you in step by step explanations of how to balance PAYG, super and wages, an explanation of how to configure payment summaries and check that they balance and what to do when you start a new payroll year.
