Hi, DelpClem 

 

Thanks for your post. 

 

To check if an allowance will be included in PAYG or not, kindly go to Payroll > Payroll Categories > Wages tab and then click the zoom arrow beside the allowance name > Click Exempt > Check if the PAYG Withholding is ticked. If ticked, it will not be included in PAYG. If not, then it is a subject for PAYG. You may also check The Help Article: Allowances for further information.

 

Please let us know if you require any further assistance with your concern.

 

Best regards,

Doreen

    Hi Doreen_P 

     

    Suggest you check your reply - you may have the ticks around the wrong way (update! - now corrected). My understanding is that if PAYG is ticked, the payroll category will be exempt from PAYG, so not included in the PAYG calculation. I may be wrong...
