SA tax code is taxing wrong in MYOB 2024.2
Hi, I have an employee whom I'm paying a bonus to which puts their grossed up annual income in excess of $180,000, and therefore over the ACC levy for 2024-25 of $142,283. I therefore taxed the additional payment as an extra payment and used tax code 'SA', I also ticked the 'Extra pay is exempt from ACC Earners Levy' box . MYOB desktop payroll (version 2024.2) is taxing this payment at a flat rate of 39% when the 'Extra pay is exempt from ACC Earners Levy' box is ticked, and at a rate of 40.60% (39% PLUS 1.60% for ACC) when this box IS NOT ticked. According to IRD tax tables, the 39% is INCLUSIVE of ACC levy. See extract from IRD below: Can you please tell me why the software is taxing this payment like this? Is this a known issue with the 2024.2 release? Cheers,20Views1like1CommentPaid Parental Leave
I have a staff member who is going on PPL in a few weeks and I am trying to make sure I am sorted as it has been over 5 years since I last had to deal with PPL and obviously not in the new Payroll system. I see there are 2 options on how to deal with PPL, (excluding the employee, or including the employee from pay runs) and the easiest for me is to exclude the employee. MYOB says to add a termination date and then re-instate the employee when (if) they start back, however I am worried that this would mean they aren't accruing the Annual Holidays they are entitled to? Previously in the old system you were able to go into the employee tab and change their status to 'on PPL' so I am just wanting to double check I am doing it correctly. Also, we were told last year that the Split Pays function would be back this year - do we have an updated time frame for this as I have staff asking for this to happen? Thanks in advance :-)53Views1like2CommentsNZ payroll tax updates too early
Hi seems the NZ tax changes happening from 31st July are already loaded onto payroll. I am doing pays today ending 30th July and the tax rates have changed. We cannot pay the new rates yet. How do I reverse the tax changes so our pays can be correct today.Solved112Views1like11Comments
