Summary
Description
To capture adjustments for previous tax years, it is necessary to process adjustments in the final pay period of the specific Tax Year. For this purpose, the History Payslips can be adjusted. History Payslips allow you to view all payslips for all employees for all the pay periods where the Period Status = “History”. You will be able to create a Tax Adjustment Payslip in the final period of the Tax Year
Resolution
On the Navigation Pane
Expand Employee Management
Double click on History Payslips
Select the applicable February history period and click Search
Select Relevant Employee and click on Payslip Detail
NOTE: Generate or print the Tax Monthly Totals before you make any changes to see the tax calculated for the adjustment period
Select the applicable Pay Run you want to adjust and click on Tax Adjustment Payslip
The following fields are editable on the adjustment payslips:
- Amount columns for all payslip lines.
- The Active flag and Total Beneficiaries field on the Medical Aid History screen.
You can now make the necessary adjustments under the relevant payslip sections such as Earnings, Deductions etc, by adding values into the Amounts column on the specific Payslip Definition.
The PAYE, UIF and SDL will be recalculated in the February period
NOTE: Because we are capturing adjustments for a previous Tax Year and therefore capturing directly in the February pay period, the original EMP201 for February should be updated to reflect the changes made on the adjustment payslip. To apply these changes a recalculation and rebuild must be done on Tax Monthly Totals.
When exporting / printing the Tax Year End Reconciliation File, Tax Certificate Reconciliation report, Tax Certificate Summary report and OID report for the specific tax year, all tax adjustments made will be included in the February amounts.
