Processing Non Tax Allowance/Reimbursements

Can someone help me with the process to account for non tax allowances/reimbursements paid to employees through wages which are NOT processed through the MYOB payroll system. I look forward to your advice.

  • Hi AJGRANT

    If they are paid through wages they should be processed through the payroll system - especially non taxable allowances. reimbursements can be coded to the expense account they are being remimbursed for - eg; if it was for a purchase made on behalf of the company - then code that amount to purchases. You will beed to split the actual wages payment out to code to wages and the remibursement/allowance will need to go to another expense account.

      Thank you Jennie. That is how I thought it should be done. I will make a new expense code for Employee Allowance.
