Hi AsifRaza,
The JobKeeper payment attracts PAYG Withholding tax like a regular wage. If you believe it should not have yet begun calculating PAYG, please firstly check the employee's Tax File Declaration settings:
- Go to Employees, then click on the employee's name and select Tax File Declaration from the menus on the left.
- Review the section Tax Calculation Options. If 'Claim tax free threshold' is not selected, ensure you select this option, then scroll down and Save.
If the Tax File Declaration Settings are correct, the employee may have reached the threshold in pay runs for the financial year. There are numerous reports to review an employee's pay history:
- Go to Employees, then select Reports.
- Reports such as the Detailed Activity Report, Gross to Net Report, Pay Categories Report and so on will all provide you with the employee's pay history. Run any of these to the appropriate date range for the financial year; if the employee's total earnings are over the threshold, they will begin attracting PAYG in the pay runs.
If you have checked both of these options and are still unable to determine why PAYG is calculated, please reach out to our dedicated Support Team so they can check your settings and resolve this with you.
