    Hi Chellie2 

     

    Thanks for clarifying.  This extra tax can be entered into the employee card, see the section 'How do I deduct extra PAYG for an employee' in the help article Taxes. When I do a test run for this setup, it looks like it's being added to the tax on the payslip as opposed to being an individual line item on the payslip.  You can check that it is being added by adding the $30 amount to the amount they should be getting via the Tax withheld for individuals calculator on the ATO site. 

     

    Check this and let me know if the additional amount is included in their tax.  If this answers your inquiry please mark "Accept as Solution" to assist other users in finding this post.  I hope this helps!

Hi Chellie2 

 

Thanks for your post.  This can be set up to process automatically but you will need to check the Payroll Category.  It may be that it's set as a tax category instead of a deduction, but check with your accountant if you have specific reporting questions. The payroll category also needs to be linked to that specific employee which you can check in their employee card/card information-see Review standard pay details.  After reviewing and making any necessary changes let me know if you are still having issues with this showing up on their payslip.

 

I hope this helps.  If this answers your inquiry please mark "Accept as Solution" so other users can find this content easier.  Let me know how you go with this!

but nothing has come out according to his payslips

 

In Payroll Categories under taxes, there is not Extra Tax in there only PAYG withholding

 

What do i need to do to get this set up?
