Payroll with no PAYE amounts coming through

If there is a payroll where, surprisingly, no tax has been deducted there could be a number of causes.  Check the following:  

1) the tax table bands and that the tax tables are in the correct currency,  

2) that the employees are being taxed on using the correct currency,  

3) that you are not processing regular transactions in a bonus period.

 

To do the above, If the payroll is still not calculating tax:

 

Cause 1

The tax tables have not been set up correctly.  Ensure that the correct tax tables have been installed.  To do this check the tables that have been setup against the current tax tables (available from Belina).

 

Cause 2

If you have converted your payroll to US$ there is a possibility that you have not selected the valid, US$, tax table.  To do this go to the 'Setup', then 'Tax' menu option.  Check that the 'Tax Table' says 'USD'.  

 

Also check that the employee's have been setup to have their tax computed in the correct payroll currency. Check that the 'Tax Table Type' has been set to 'USD' for USD/Multicurrency payrolls and 'Default' for ZiG payrolls.  If it has not been set, you can set it manually for that employee and do the same for each employee in turn, alternatively this can be done in bulk. The system will then convert all employees in the payroll to the set Tax Table in one operation.Then run a Calculation Routine.

 

Cause 3

Check to ensure that the payroll period dates have been set up correctly.  It is important that the period dates for each payroll period have the correct period dates setup.  Go through each of the periods listed on the table checking the dates.  If there are any incorrect dates change the dates.  Then run a Calculation Routine.

 

Cause 4

Regular earnings are being processed in a bonus period.  Bonus periods are designed for the processing of bonuses and not regular earnings.  

 

The Final Deduction System (FDS) method of calculating tax projects regular earnings in standard periods.  This projection is not done in a bonus period.
