Thanks Faye. A pity that Reckon couldn't document that.

Hi All,
Thanks, Suzanne, for the link to the Key Table. It just shows that you learn something new every day. I have been a daily Reckon/QuickBooks user for 5 years + and have completed the QuickBooks Advanced Certificate (which disappointingly did not include payroll). I (obviously) didn't know the Table was there.
However, what is in the Key Table appears to be different to what Faye wrote above, particularly in relation to codes 5 and 6, which are the ones of interest to me at the moment with foreign workers who should not be paying for Medicare because they are not covered by it. The description in the table for code 5, for example, says: "Used for employees who claim the full Medicare levy".
Does this mean employees who pay the full Medicare levy, or employees who do not pay the full Medicare levy? It could be read either way.0 -
Hey Casey, just select the HELP tax code and the program will work out the amounts itself through the Tax Tables (if they have been updated to the relevant ones). - Mirko

I have a young casual who has another job and is claiming the tax free threshold from them. He has a HELP debt, so I've selected that, but what tax code should I use. I thought that 2 would only be used if you are claiming the tax free threshold?
He is however, only doing 16hrs per week, so not sure if this makes a difference.

Hi Debbie
That's correct - 2-TFT is only for employees claiming the tax-free threshold.
For this casual employee who's not claiming it, you would use 1-No TFT (This stands for "No Tax-Free Threshold"):
