Summary

Reporting of BMS IDs and Payroll IDs allows the ATO to align with the data journey of the business and to manage the result of any decisions the business makes about transfer of payee YTD balances these key identifiers.

ATO displays the Income Statements to the payee by BMS ID and Payroll ID reported.

If the payer has transferred YTD balances between their payroll systems, the ATO must be specifically alerted.

If not alerted, the ATO will display both BMS Id/YTD balances, thus overstating both the payee income and the payer PAYGW liability.
