Payroll: Working Holiday Maker Employer Registration number

[6203]

To legally use the Working Holiday Maker tax tables, the employer has to be registered with the ATO to do so.  

It would make sense then for the MYOB software to have a box in its Payroll Setup area to record the ATO Reference Number of the Working Holiday Maker Employer Registration.  Alternatively, it could just be a tick box to acknowledge that the employer has registered with the ATO (with a note to say that registration can be checked against the ABN on the ABN Lookup website).  Another alterative may be some automated checking of the employer's ABN like there is with the checking of the ABN for suppliers.

Perhaps then a warning should show if the operator chooses one of the two Working Holiday Maker tax tables for an employee, when the Registration box in the Payroll Setup area is empty (or the employer's ABN does not show as being registered as a Working Holiday Maker Employer).
