MYOB Acumatica - Setting up Working Holiday Maker Employee

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;We recently hired an employee from the US on a Working Holiday Visa. From our understanding, we need to register as an employer of working holiday makers in order to apply a tax rate of 15% on earnings up to $45,000; otherwise, the rate defaults to 30%.&nbsp;I've entered the payroll information into the system, but I've noticed that it is automatically setting the tax rate at 30%. Additionally, there's a warning message indicating, “Company not set as a registered employer for working holiday makers.”&nbsp;I'm unsure how the system determines whether we are registered or not. I couldn't find an option in MYOB to indicate our registered status. I’ve attached screenshots of our pay settings for your review.&nbsp;Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much!&nbsp;

&nbsp;1&nbsp; you need to register with the Australian Taxation office - as a Employer of working Holiday makers.https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/starting-registering-or-closing-a-business/registration-obligations-for-businesses/work-out-which-registrations-you-need/taxation-registrations/employer-registration-for-working-holiday-makers&nbsp;2&nbsp; In Acumatica Payroll/People&nbsp; -&nbsp; in the 'Companies'&nbsp; - there is a tick box&nbsp; &nbsp;'Registered for WHM'&nbsp;After this the Taxation information on the Employee Pay Details - will have the extra fields to select&nbsp; WHM.
