    Hi TaylorBrammer 

     

    Thanks for your post. I hope you're finding plenty of useful tips, advice and support on the community forum. 

     

    This is likely due to the selection assigned since there are multiple options depending on the employee situation.  I cannot recommend specific assignments but I'll link Taxes and Update the PAYG tax tables for reference.

Dear Theresa,

 

I have been looking into this and have discovered that the calculated tax has altered after 1st July (it was correct in last financial year but has reduced by $24 in this year).  Can send some screen shots privately if it helps.

Hi TaylorBrammer 

 

If everything is set up correctly then the calculation should be correct, so I will need to gather enough info to replicate this so I can see where the issue might be happening. 

 

First please check the Tax table revision date by going to Setup > General Payroll Info > Tax Table Revision Date.  Also please go into each of those employee cards, Employee Card > Taxes > Tax Tables and check which one is selected as there are more than one option as shown below

 

I also need to see the payroll figures (wage) and taxes they receive.  Please include this information in your response to the private message I will send.  Let me know and I will further assist.

    Hi TaylorBrammer 

     

    Thanks for sending me the relevant details via message.  I just wanted to address the forum post as well in the event that other users come across this. 

     

    I recreated this on my end and have come up with the same amount of tax ($570) that is showing in your system.  It also matches using the ATO Tax withheld for individuals calculator when the relevant fields are entered.  You can use this as well if you ever want to double check how it is being calculated.

     

    I hope this clarifies. If this answers your post please mark ‘Accept as Solution’ to help other users find this information easier.
