Updating tax bands

Belina PayrollHR is supplied with implementation assistance.  The current tax parameters are setup during the course of the implementation.

 

Manual update

Thereafter, as revised tax parameters occur, notification of the changes and the steps to be followed to update them are made available to clients by email and on the Belina website http://zw.belinapayroll.com/resources.  The steps to be taken are detailed in the Getting Started section of this manual.

 

Belina PayrollHR software update

Another way of updating the tax parameters is to install a software update released after the commencement of the new tax period.  The advantage of doing this is that your system will now include all the software enhancements that have been released since your last update.  The steps to be taken in downloading and installing the update are detailed in the Getting Started section of this manual.

 

Once this is done then the new tax parameters need to be activated.  This is done by:

Go to the 'Setup', 'New', then 'Tax' menus

Enter the 'Effective Date', the effective start date of the current tax year.

Press the elipsis button to the right of the 'Effective Date' field.

Select the 'Auto Create Tax Tables' option

A warning displays, select 'Yes' to continue

Assuming the update was released after the commencement of the tax year, the tax parameters will come through automatically.
