    Agreed. I don't know if I'm missing something, but we've got a bunch of travel allowances that satisfy the ATO rules to be tax exempt. According to ATO guidance at https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/hiring-and-paying-your-workers/single-touch-payroll/in-detail/single-touch-payroll-phase-2-employer-reporting-guidelines/reporting-the-amounts-you-have-paid/allowances these should not be shown in STP Finalisation. So I'm struggling with a way to try to delete them, since Xero automatically included them.

    If it's exempt from PAYG and not reportable as W1, then why is Xero pushing it into the reportable Allowances part of STP finalisation?
