Does anyone have any idea what it means???

There are only two PAYG Payment Summaries and they are both using the INB PAYG template.


Thanks

Hi Andrew,

The EMPDUPE is basically just a text file, however all text (each character) must be in the correct position for ATO to recognise.

Which version and relase number of QuickBooks are you using?? (with quickbooks open, press Ctrl + 1 - this opens the product info screen - the necessary info will be at the top of the window).
