An Update Event advises the ATO that you have either already changed the Payee YTD Taxation Balances in e-PayDay Go or changed Payroll Solutions, which may include transitioning from Phase 1 to Phase 2 reporting.
If either the Organisation or any payee includes a Previous BMS ID or an STP Previous Payroll ID, an Update Event must be sent to the ATO before Pay Runs can be processed. Performing this action removes the above identifiers and will enable Pay Runs to be processed.
