Legislative upgrade

After entering the new tax year, the system will prompt you to install the legislative upgrade when opening a company. This ensures the new tax changes are applied by updating the financial year and running the legislative release.

The message regarding the Legislative upgrade usually happens when you roll over into the new tax year.  The Legislative upgrade consists of 2 parts.

• Downloading and Installing the Update that has the new tax tables
• Running a Legislative release to incorporate the changes

NOTE: You can process your first weeks payroll on the old tax tables. The system will recalculate the values in the period where you run the legislative release.

 This guide applies to the South African MSI file. For other countries, uninstall and reinstall the country-specific MSI file. 

TIP: If you’re already on the latest update, you’ll have to run a legislative release (step 3) to clear the message.

1. You can always check our download manager to make sure if you're on the latest version.
   • The first update in the list will always be the full install of the latest update
2. Click the download option.
   Wait for the download to finish.
3. Double-click on the file to install the update.

4.  

   After installing the update, run a legislative release to apply the new tax tables.
5. Once the legislative release is complete. Ensure that your company is current with the most recent tax tables.

NOTE: This message will NOT stop you from doing your processing, unless you are in the MAY period of the new financial year. You can continue to process your weekly wages for March until you have the time to download the latest version.
