Tax Total 3833/3883 not equal to Tax Total 4584 - MIBFA
Description

Resolution

Steps to correct the exception

  1. Go to Process > Payslip.
  2. On the Default tab, enter the code M203.
  3. Run a Payroll Run for the employee to finalize the calculation.

The M203 code auto-calculates to match the YTD total of code M103.

If you still experience the exception

  1. Make a backup of your company data.
  2. Run a Rebuild Total to refresh the calculations.

NOTE:

Adding or adjusting M203 can affect PAYE, UIF, and SDL values. If statutory payments have already been submitted, file a correction return to comply.

If the employee was terminated

If the employee’s M203 code wasn’t processed or doesn’t match the YTD value of M103, you have three options:

  1. Restore to the last active period.

    • Add code R700.
    • Recapture all payroll data for the periods between the restored period and your current period.

  2. Request a chargeable data fix.

    • Contact support to arrange the datafix.

  3. Exclude the employee from your electronic file

    • Create a manual certificate for them on E@syFile.

      NOTE:

      Sage cannot assist in creating manual certificates in E@syFile.
