Can anyone help or assist on how to fix working holiday tax calculation? In Employee card tax setup correctly to working holiday maker-registered. Country also entered. But when amount entered, it’s only give out tax calculation at 15% even amount is above threshold already. For example tax on weekly wages for $900 showed $135 instead of $140.

please help

Thanks

Hi @JunP,

That’s a good observation and thanks for sending screenshot. You’re right that the $0 to $45,000 income is an annual figure. MYOB takes your employees’ weekly or fortnightly pay and works out what that would be over a whole year to figure out which tax bracket they land in. That way, tax gets calculated just like the ATO requires for each type of employee and each pay cycle. If you want to double-check the numbers, you can confirm this on the ATO’s tax withheld calculator. It’ll show you exactly how much tax should be coming out for any amount to pay.

Cheers,

Princess

Hi@"Earl_HD" ,

thank you for reply.

income 0- $45,000 is yearly range, do you aware?

in tax table information, have you tried to select other tax rates? Even for working holiday rate-not registered, wages range is weekly. Please compare more closely.

Look back to tax table for working holiday, is that means weekly range is 0-$45000? Anyone earned that rate? Of course $900 wages will have $135 if it’s in that range.

thanks again.
