How to modify an annual reconciliation

This depends on what financial year you wish to amend.

The annual reconciliation lodgement for the 2011-12 financial year onwards can be amended via RevNet.

Further information on how to amend an annual reconciliation can be found by pressing the “help” menu in the top right hand corner of any RevNet page or by viewing the RevNet Payroll Tax General and Annual Reconciliation Functions Tutorial.

Any annual reconciliation lodgements prior to the 2011-12 financial year cannot be reassessed via RevNet, as the status of the payroll tax annual reconciliation in RevNet is 'read only'. This means that you cannot amend the annual reconciliation on-line once it has been submitted to RevenueSA.

If you wish to make an amendment to a ‘read only’ annual reconciliation submission, a description of the amendments is required in written form outlining the changes. Information required must include total wages originally declared, the amended wage details and the reason for the amendment. Your submission should be forwarded to: RevenueSA, GPO Box 2418, Adelaide SA 5001.
