Hi Louise2,
I understand that managing increased PAYG deductions for income sourced from both Australia and Japan can be confusing. To address the situation with the employee on a work visa who is receiving income from both the Australian and Japan offices, you can increase the PAYG withholding on their fortnightly pay to cover the total salary, including the part paid from the Japan office. Here are some steps and considerations to help you manage this:
- Adjust PAYG Withholding: You can manually increase the PAYG withholding amount when doing payroll to account for the additional income from the Japan office. This ensures that the employee's tax obligations are met based on their total income.
However, it would still be best to speak to your accountant regarding this as they can provide you with more information.
Best regards,
Doreen
