Tax Tables (AU)

Overview

The Config > Payroll > Tax Tables screen displays the payroll-related taxes that are available in your portal and whether these are enabled or disabled.

The Tax Tables screen will show one region at a time. If more than one region is enabled in your portal, you can navigate between regions by going to Report Settings > select Regulatory Region > Go.

The list of Australian tax tables is populated based on information provided by the ATO and includes columns for HELP, Financial Supplement, Scale and Version details.

For more information on specific tax tables, please visit the ATO website.

Enable a Tax Table

Tax tables that have been enabled for a portal are denoted with a green tick icon. You can enable a tax table by following the steps below:

1. Go to Config > Payroll > Tax Tables.

2. Tick the checkbox to the far left of the Tax Table name.

3. Click ‘With selected tax tables…’ > select ‘Enable’ from the drop-down list > Go > Confirm.

Once a tax table is enabled, it cannot be disabled.

Set a Default Tax Table

Each region can have a default tax table set. To do this:

1. Go to Config > Payroll > Tax Tables.

2. Tick the checkbox to the left of the Tax Table name.

3. Click ‘With selected tax tables…’ > select ‘Set as Default’ from the drop-down list > Go > Confirm.

Setting a disabled tax table as the Default will enable it in the same action.

View Archived Tax Tables

Some tax tables have been automatically archived because they are no longer used (eg the HELP/SSL/TSL/FS tax tables). You're able to view these by ticking the 'View Archived Tax Tables' option in the Report Settings drop-down. However, they can't be enabled or used in employee profiles.
