Attaché Payroll: Set up a voluntary or extra tax amount for an employee as a percentage

On the latest Tax File Declaration forms employees can now select to pay an extra percentage of their earnings as voluntary tax contributions. Previously there was only a value field to complete. The value field is available on the Tax Details page of the Masterfile. Enter the additional tax value per pay that the employee wants to contribute.
​
Currently there is no field to be able to enter a percentage of extra tax for an employee in Attache payroll.
​

Our recommendation is to request your employees:

  • Give you a value that they would like to contribute per pay and use the field available in the Masterfile.

  • Tell you a flat rate of tax that they want deducted from their pay generally. You would then need to set up a customised tax scale in Attache the same as sometimes requested by the ATO for employees. See Set up a customised tax scale.
