The Tax Update for Reckon Accounts 2016 is now live.

This update contains the latest PAYG Tax Tables and legislative changes to help you be compliant in the 2016/17 financial year.

Installing the tax update

Please follow these steps to install the Reckon Accounts 2016 Tax Update.

Ensure you have installed and activated your copy of Reckon Accounts 2016 (the Tax Update cannot be installed on earlier versions of the software).

If you have not installed Reckon Accounts 2016, log in to the Members Site to access your installation key code and download now.

Read and follow the instructions in the upgrade guide for important guidelines on when and how to install the update. 

Important: The new tax tables take effect from 1 July 2016. You must process employee pay for the 2015/16 financial year prior to installing this update; otherwise your 2015/16 pay calculations will not be correct.

Once the tax update is installed and your data file is opened, you will not be able to reopen your file in the original Reckon Accounts 2016 release.

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled downloading tax tables. I am a paid up member but can not access the Tax update download. Maybe I have missed something obvious. I've followed the email link and given my ID and password. I can see the Title Reckon Accounts 2016 Tax Update , however there is no Download link. Pleass help

    Hi,

    I'm having the same problem as this user posted a few days ago:

    "I am a paid up member but can not access the Tax update download. Maybe I have missed something obvious. I've followed the email link and given my ID and password. I can see the Title Reckon Accounts 2016 Tax Update , however there is no Download link. Pleass help"

    Same problem - after giving our Customer ID and PIN, there is a screen with no download button, I've scrolled right to the bottom of screen - please assist!

    Thx

    Hi Rav,

    I have installed and registered Payroll Premier 2016-17. Is that the same thing? I have been advised that I still need to install the tax tables.

    Hi Bianca,

    Payroll Premier 2016 comes issued with the latest 2016/17 tax tables.

    There is no additional tax table update you need to apply.

    Cheers
    Rav

    Thanks. That's what I assumed but when I registered I was advised that I needed to still update it.

    All good. Thanks

    Hi Amanda,
    Have you upgraded to, and activated the 2016 version of Reckon Accounts Enterprise yet? You can only update the tax tables provided you have completed this step first.
