Sending Payment Summary Data to ATO
If you do self-print
Payment Summaries you will have to send the information to the ATO. The ATO definitely
does not want paper print-outs. You can either:
-
Send a diskette. You will have to include an MMI Form. It is on page 194 of
the manual.
-
You can send the data electronically by the ECI system.
Writing the Diskette
You must do this if you
self-print
Payment Summaries on plain paper. From the Main Menu, Choices; Payment Summaries;
Write Diskette.
A diskette can contain more than one data file. This is useful if you have several
employer groups.
On the screen asking for Payer Details, PAY-PACK asks for Diskette Drive
and File Sequence Number on Diskette. Enter 1 for the first (or only) file,
2 for the second file, etc. PAY-PACK will write the first file as EMPDUPE.A01, the
second file as EMPDUPE.A02, etc.
On the screen asking for Payer Details, for Diskette Drive if you enter a
blank then PAY-PACK will write the file to the PAY-PACK directory. To find the directory
name, from the Main Menu go to Choices; File Information. This is useful in
the following cases:
-
You want to send the EMPDUPE file(s) by ECI.
-
You want to copy the EMPDUPE file(s) to another computer.
-
You want to copy the EMPDUPE file(s) to a CD using a burning program.
MAGNETIC MEDIA INFORMATION Form
After you have printed the PS's and written the disk file, complete the Magnetic
Media Information form. It is on page 194. In the upper right, it has a box with
the letters EA. If you cannot find it, let us know and we will fax you a copy.
DO NOT FAX IT. Just include the form with your diskette, and mail it (no stamp
needed) to the address on the MMI form:
Magnetic Information Processing Services
