Certain Deduction Pay Items may need to be excluded from the Gross Payments reported in the PAYG payment summary for an employee. Mapping a Deduction Pay Item to Gross Payments field has the effect of removing it from Gross Payments (the deduction being a subtraction mathematically)

To exclude Deductions Pay Items from Gross Payments;

• Click on Reports in the main menu
• Click on Income Tax Payers Summary in the Report List.
• Select the appropriate reporting method and financial year and click Next.
• When you are in the mappings screen, select ‘Gross Payments’ from the pick list for the particular Deduction Pay Item you want excluded from Gross Payments.

If you map a Deduction Pay Item to Deductions or Workplace Giving summary fields, rather than Gross Payments, then the YTD amount for the Pay Item will appear under additional details in the PAYG Payment Summary as specified by the ATO. If you map it to Gross Payments, it’s YTD amount will be deducted from the Gross Payments.

Note: The system saves your mappings every time you click Next button in the mappings screen. If you realize your PAYG payment summaries are incorrect, late or lost, then visit the ATO help page for further instructions.
