Hi with regards to this tax table update, should Accounts Hosted have been updated automatically?

Hi Jo-Anne,

Yes the tax table update in October 2016 was applied automatically in Hosted. There is no action required for the user.

In order to check and confirm this, select:
Employees > Tax Table Information > Tax Table Info (It's important that you click this button)

You'll be presented a screen which will show the following -

Morning Rav, thank you. I have checked this info and it does not say *contains changes which came into effect on 1st October 2016*. It would appear something had gone wrong with the update. How do I rectify this? Jo-Anne

That sounds very odd Jo-Anne!

It should be automatic for all Hosted subscribers. Can you please give us a buzz when you've got a chance so we take a closer look into this with you.

Hi Jo-anne, please check that in the Salary Sacrifice Item setup the PAYG Tax check box is ticked - it's a kind of negative/reverse tax - not really sure how to explain that!

Hi Lesley, thank you for that. I have checked and it is ticked. Below is details of one of the pay runs:
Gross $966.00
Salary Sacrifice $-25.00
PAYG Tax $-193.00
Net $748.00
Tax on $941 (966-25) should be $162 according to the weekly tax table (NAT1005) for payments made on or after 1 October 2016

Hi Jo-anne, there has to be something wrong in the setup of the Payroll Item or Employee record. I cannot replicate this problem and if you look at the tax tables for 1 July 2015 and 1 October 2016 both tax amounts are $162.
Does the employee have extra tax deducted?

I've replicated it!!!!!!!!!!!! Whilst you must have PAYG Tax ticked for Salary Sacrifice, you should NOT have PAYG Tax ticked for 9.5% Super Items - you are taxing the Super Guarantee! Take this tick off and all will work fine!!

Hi Lesley I have changed setup per your instructions. but i have the following result:
gross $966
SS -$25
PAYG -$193
Net $748.00
PAYG tax is still incorrect

2017-03-06T04:09:02+00:00

2,872 Points

I have set up a new employee to test this and used all of the information as with the employee with the problem
and it is all okay. there appears to be a gliche with the employee who has the SS. Any ideas?

Did you try using the same Super Guarantee Item on the new employee, or did you create a new one? Try using the same one and see if it happens

I think I've solved the problem. Went through each payroll item and found the super item was incorrect. I have changed it now and it appears to be okay. I will do a couple of test runs to see how it goes. Thank you for your help

Hi

Just received an email from the ATO stating new tax tables apply from October 2016. I'm running RAP:Contractor 2016 Release R2P with tax table version 1617252 - do I have to do anything or am I already covered for the new tax tables.

Thanks

Trevor

Edit: Didn't see the post by Finance Officer (https://community.reckon.com/reckon/topics/update-tax-tables-for-1-10-2016) until I'd made this post and it showed up as a related post. The search facility (searching for tax tables) only showed posts relating to prior years with the newest being a year ago. Please merge with Finance Officers question.

With regards to the ATO's announced Payg Tax Withholding which takes affect on 1/10/16, I am enquirying as to why we have not received any nofitication that there will be new tax tables to download. Please see link to the ato News Room attached https://www.ato.gov.au/Newsroom/small...

Hi Tony,

You don't need to do anything, the tax table update with Hosted was seamless and requires no action on users' part.

Employees > Tax Table Information > Click the Tax Table Info button

You should see the following screen which states the 1st October changes are in effect.

I have Reckon Premier Contractor Edition 2016 and I've been trying to install the Updated October 2016 Tax Table but it keeps telling me it won't do it because I need a Reckon R2 Version. Tried calling Technical Service but keep getting cut off

That's really strange, I'm really sorry to hear that Felicity!

Is there any chance you may have unsubscribed from our emails at some point in the past?

Hi Kwikbooks,

The tax table update has already been applied to Hosted and no action is required on your part.

Please check out this earlier post to check your Hosted version is running the current tax update.

Let me know if there are any issues

Cheers
Rav
