Working Holiday Maker
Hi there When trying to pay an working holiday maker, MYOB is calculing the PAYG on the YTD. The entity is registered and prior to this pay run, the employee should really still be taxed at ...

Hi Gavin
The ATO says "if you are registered and total payments you have made to the employee for the income year prior to this payment are less than $45,001..." you use colum 2 in the excel provided, which is the lower rate
This is taken from Schedule 15 – Tax table for working holiday makers
Therefore the payment you are making that takes you over the $45,000 should still be taxed at the lower rate
Hi jfernandes
My apologies - typically with tax tables it is the other way around. I missed this detail with Working Holiday Makers and my guess is the MYOB developers did as well. Tax Tables normally work on the amount at payment date. MYOB developers probably don't look at the total at previous payment date, just the total at this payment date.
I will tag a moderator or two Celia_B Earl_HD in the hope that this gets referred to the developers, in the incredibly slim hope they will actually do something about it. In the mean time, you and every other employer when the WHM payment crosses the threshold will need to manually override the PAYG using the lower rate.

Gavin
