Payroll and STP

Hi Andrea64, 

This message usually appears where a business has multiple employing entities set up and the identical ABN is used for two or more of these entities. The ATO deems this as a duplicate lodgement and will hence cause the lodgement to fail. 

 

Here is a more detailed article about this error and how it can be rectified.
