MYOB & Payroll Tax

Hi All,

We have had an employee move from Vic to Tasmania. We also have staff in SA. At the moment, to prepare and lodge payroll tax, we manually highlight each SA employee, add their figures, lodge the SA return. Do the same for Vic and then for Tas. Is there some way I can allocate a location or a code to each employee, so I can run a report at the end of the month for SA staff, for Vic staff & for Tas staff and not do these manual calculations? Thank you

  • Hey Suz75,

     

    Managing payroll tax across multiple states can add extra work when figures need to be separated manually. While there isn't a built-in field to assign a payroll tax state to an employee, a common workaround is to use the Custom List. You can use this to tag each employee with their state. Once employees are tagged, you can include that field in the payroll reports and sort of filter the report by state to see the totals for each group, instead of manually highlighting employees. 

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen

    Hi Suz75,

     

    You’re not missing anything. You can’t add a custom list/identifier to Payroll Summary, it’s just not available there. The good news is you can do it on Payroll Activity Summary and Payroll Register Summary. Run one of those reports, 

     

    • Click Insert/Modify
    • Select Show/Hide, and tick the Custom List you want to see

    If it’s still being a pain, feel free to jump on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via My Account so our team can assist with this.

     

    Cheers,

    Hi Doreen_P​ 

    Could you please direct me to the instructions to add the 'custom list' to my payroll summary report? I've tried the help within MYOB but I'm not getting anything telling me I can add that information. Many thanks in advance.
