The new tax scales include changes to the ACC Earner's Levy rate and Maximum ACC Earner Levy. There are also legislated changes to the Employer Savings Contribution Tax (ESCT) and Retirement Savings Contribution Tax (RSCT) threshold brackets and rates which will need to be reviewed when assigning ESCT Percentages to Employee Masterfiles.
These tax scales are compliant for the following Attaché versions:
Minimum version: Attaché 23.2.
Recommended version: Attaché 24.1.2.1.
