AU Payroll - Option to select non reportable allowance
Could Xero start looking at a drop down box on the allowance to have one as Not Reportable (alongside the other catagories eg. Meals, Tools, Car), and to have it out for STP reporting? or another checkbox down the bottom along with the withholding tax, super, and W1 questions?
Instead of going through the long winding process of creating an ordinary earning, remove as deduction and do a reimbursement as per https://central.xero.com/s/article/Process-special-pay-items-like-living-away-from-home-allowance

Pay an Employee for a pay item that won't appear on their income statement and isn't included for STP. eg The Overnight Travel Allowance equal to or below the ATO reasonable amount. Can't it be set up as an pay item with a box to check - Do not include in Income Statement. Having to process this as a reimbursement means having to calculate the amount to be paid for each pay run.
