Reckon Accounts Hosted - PAYG Tax Codings

Liza Oates

Looking for some advice - i found this from a previous post regarding PAYG tax settings

However, just checking whether I should choose the code 4-NoTFNn No Tax File Number Non Resident .

I have a WHM who has provided me with his Tax File Number but he is already working for another employer on a two week roster and two weeks off. During his two weeks off he is working a few days for my the company I work for.

I chose option

4-NoTFNn as he is a Non resident - the discussion I have seen suggested using 8-NoTaxC code instead and manually entering the Tax Code. However he is not able to claim the WHM tax rate of 15% before earning $45,000 as he is already claiming this from his other employer.

Looking for help please.

Thank you

Liza

Hi Liza

The WHM rates aren’t related to a single, particular employment arrangement. However, the WHM rates only applicable to payers who are specifically registered as “WHM Employers”.
If the employer is not registered, the WHM should still have WHM as the allocated Income Type BUT the employee should be taxed as a non-resident (3-NonRes) ☺️

Hi Shaz

Thank you for your advice this makes sense now as have never employed a WHM before. I have registered online with the ATO but did not know how to set one up properly. Always appreciate your help. I am getting a new accounts system to roll out in January 25 - hopefully I dont have so many problems arising.

Regards

You’re very welcome @Liza Oates ☺️

If you’ve registered, the employee should be set as 8-No TaxC & the relevant percentage should be manually entered in the Tax % box.

There’s also a checkbox in the Company Information window that should be ticked as this notifies the ATO you’re registered (in each STP submission) :
