Reading back through this thread, the same three problems come up: working out which pay items count as ordinary wages, matching payroll workers to the scheme's registered list, and getting
the file into the format the portal will accept. The rules differ by state, which is why one report wouldn't solve it anyway — the same quarter of payroll produces different ordinary wages in NSW and Qld, because Qld counts most allowances and NSW excludes travel and meal.I've been building the calculation part of this as a browser tool — nothing uploaded, it reads your export locally. NSW and Qld rules and levies are working; the portal file formats are what I'm stuck on, because the schemes reject files whose format has changed and I can't get blank templates out of them.
If you lodge these: which scheme, and roughly how long does a quarter take you? That's what I'd most like to know. Happy to share what I've worked out about the classification rules either way — there's no good public summary of them anywhere I've found.
