Print the Dependent Deduction report and the Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction report.
Enter deduction data for the Year-End Adjustment (YEA).
Prepare for YEA reporting.
Run Year-End reports.

Understanding YEA

Global Payroll for Japan provides rules that satisfy statutory and business requirements for calculating and reporting YEA on the final salary or bonus payment. In addition, it provides rules for calculating and reporting independent YEA when an event that affects a payee's annual income tax occurs after the YEA adjustment.

When you run the YEA process on the final salary or bonus, the system calculates for each payee the difference between income tax that is withheld and the income tax on actual earnings and settles this tax difference in the final payment of the year. For independent YEA processing, where the tax difference represents an underpayment of income tax, the system carries over the tax difference as a deduction to be taken in the first payment of the following object year. If the tax difference represents excess withholding of income tax, the excess amount is refunded to the payee at year end. You can carry over this amount to the next year.

This section discusses:

Delivered YEA elements.
Viewing delivered elements.
Tax difference carryover for independent YEA.
YEA reports.
Self-service YEA data collection.
YEA data collection through printed reports.

Delivered YEA Elements

Global Payroll for Japan delivers these elements for processing year-end adjustments:

Deduction elements YE TAX DIF and YE TXDIF CY.

YE TAX DIF represents the tax difference amount that the system calculates during YEA processing. YE TX DIF CY represents the tax amount difference that is carried over to the next year for employees who are subject to independent YEA processing.
Process lists, JPRADJSAL, JPRADJBON, and JPRADJIND.

Use the applicable payroll process list to run the YEA process for salary or bonus, or for independent YEA adjustments.

Viewing Delivered Elements

You can run a delivered query to view the names of all delivered elements that are designed for Japan. Instructions for running the query are provided in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Payroll 9.1 PeopleBook.

Tax Difference Carryover for Independent YEA

When the tax difference that is calculated for an independent YEA represents an underpayment of income tax, the system uses the deduction element, YE TXDIF CY, to carry over the difference to the next object year. When you run the regular payroll process for January (using process list JPRSAL), the system deducts the amount from the payee's earnings. If the tax difference is greater than the payee's earnings in January or cannot be deducted from the January salary, the tax difference is carried over to the next month, until the deduction is taken.

By default, refunds are not carried forward but are paid to employees in the last payment of the year. To carry over refunds, set the value of variable YE VR CYOVR FLG to 1 (one).

The system reports the tax difference that is carried over on the YEA payslips, the Withholding Tax Register report, and the Tax Difference Carried Over from the Previous Year report.

YEA Reports

After year-end adjustments are complete and you prepare your data tables, you can generate these reports to complete the YEA business process:

Withholding Tax report (GPJPYE01).
Withholding Tax/Wage Payment report (GPJPYE01).
Legal Payment Summary report (GPJPYE02).
Wage Payment Summary report (GPJPYE03).
Tax Difference Carried Over from the Previous Year report (GPJPYE06).

Self-Service YEA Data Collection

Global Payroll for Japan supports both a paper exchange method and a self-service method for collecting YEA data from employees.

If your organization licenses PeopleSoft Enterprise ePay and PeopleSoft Enterprise eProfile, you can collect YEA data from employees through self-service pages. The process for collecting and reviewing self-service YEA data includes these steps:

The payroll administrator specifies the time period in which employees can update data through the self-service transaction.
Employees access a main YEA Information page in ePay.

From that page, they access other pages where they can review and update this YEA data:
- Employee tax information, such as head of household and disability information.
- Employee personal data information, such as name, address, and birth date. (Available only if your organization also licenses eProfile.)
- Dependent tax information, such as relationship and disability types.
- Life insurance and personal pension insurance information.
- Nonlife insurance, social insurance, and small enterprise mutual aid insurance information.
- Spouse special deduction information.
- Housing loan special deduction information.
Payroll administrators review the data and accept it or notify the employee to revise it.
(Optional) The payroll administrator prints the Dependent Deduction report and Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction report for record-keeping purposes.

YEA Data Collection Through Printed Reports

Payroll administrators perform the following steps to collect YEA data using printed reports:

Print and distribute the following two forms on which employees manually enter their YEA data:
- Dependent Deduction report.
- Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction report.
Collect the completed forms from employees.

Use these forms to enter data into Global Payroll for Japan income tax and YEA tables.

Retain the completed forms for record-keeping purposes.

Printing the Dependent Deduction Report and Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction Reports

This section provides an overview of the Dependent Deduction report and Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction reports, lists common elements, and discusses how to:

Run the Dependent Deduction report.
Run the Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction report.

Understanding Dependent Deduction and Insurance and Spouse Deduction Reports

The data collection method that you use determines when you run these reports and what they contain.

Data Collection Through Printed Reports

Use these reports to collect the data that you later enter into the system manually:

Dependent Deduction report.

This report prints the current employee and dependent information, which the employee can modify if a correction or update is needed.
Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction report.

This report prints the basic employee information only.

For record-keeping purposes, you can retain the reports that are submitted by employees.

Self-Service Data Collection

With self-service data collection, you can print the reports for record-keeping purposes after employees have updated their data. The reports gather data from the tables on which the self-service data is stored in the system.

Common Elements Used in This Section

Print Options	Select the Print Bus (business) Unit and Location check box to print the business unit and location on the report. This information appears at the bottom of the report.
Sort Order	Select the sort order in which you want the report to print. Options include Business Unit, Location Code, Department, and Supervisor Level ID.

Running the Dependent Deduction Report

Access the Report YEA Dependent Ded JPN page (Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Year-End Processing, Report YEA Dependent Ded JPN, Report YEA Dependent Ded JPN).

Object Year

This field determines the date for which report data is retrieved. The Dependent Deduction report is based on information as of the last day of the object year. So if you enter 2004 in this field, the report is based on data that was in effect on December 31, 2004.

The exception to this rule is the payee's address, which is retrieved as of the first date of the object year. So if the object year is 2004, the as of date for the address is January 1, 2004.

Running the Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction Report

Access the Report YEA Ins and Spous JPN page (Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Year-End Processing, Report YEA Ins and Spouse JPN, Report YEA Ins and Spous JPN).

Object Year

If ePay is not installed, this field determines the date for which report data is retrieved. The Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction report is based on information as of the last day of the object year. So if you enter 2004 in this field, the report is based on data that was in effect on December 31, 2004.

If ePay is installed, the system uses the date that is entered in the As of Date field on the Year End Adjustment Self Service Setup page to retrieve data for the report.

YEA Status

This group box appears only if ePay is installed. Select the appropriate status for the year-end adjustment: Submitted, Approved, or Sent to Payroll.

Entering Deduction Data for the Year-End Adjustment (YEA)

This section provides overviews of deduction data entry for YEA and manual adjustments to YEA data for multiple jobs and discusses how to:

Load self-service deduction data.
Enter YEA deduction data and editing YEA type.
Enter prior employment data.
Enter employee tax deduction data that is collected by reports.
Enter dependent tax deduction data that is collected by reports.

Understanding Deduction Data Entry for YEA

Before processing the YEA reports, you must enter deduction information for YEA into the GPJP_YEA_PYEADJ table and ensure that data in the GPJP_IT_PYE_TAX and GPJP_IT_DEP_TAX tables is up-to-date.

Much of this data is collected through either the self-service or the manual method of YEA data collection. The method of entering the data differs according to the collection method.

Note. Even if you use data that is collected through the self-service pages, you must still access the YEA Adj Data (year-end adjustment data) page if you need to edit the employee's YEA type. You must also access the Prior Employment page to enter prior employment data.

This table lists how the tables for each method of data collection are updated:

Data and Payroll Table That Is Loaded	Self-Service Method	Manual Method
Employee tax deduction data on (GPJP_IT_PYE_TAX)	Automatically updated when the employee saves information that is entered on the Employee Tax Information self-service page.	Collected on the Dependent Deduction report and manually entered on the Maintain Income Tax Data JPN page (GPJP_IT_PYE_TAX).
Dependent tax deduction data on (GPJP_IT_DEP_TAX)	Automatically updated when the employee saves information that is entered on the Edit Dependent Tax Information self-service page.	Collected on the Dependent Deduction report and manually entered on the Maintain Dep Tax Data JPN page (GPJP_IT_DEP_TAX).
Insurance, spouse, and housing loan special deduction data on (GPJP_YEA_PYEADJ)	Run the Load YEA Self Service Data process (GPJP_YEASSLD), which loads data that is entered by employees on the Employee Personal Information and insurances and deductions self-service pages.	Collected on the Insurance and Spouse Special Deduction report and manually entered on the YEA Data page (GPJP_YEA_PYEADJ).

Understanding Manual Adjustments to YEA Data for Multiple Jobs

When an employee has multiple jobs, YEA Report Data JPN is loaded for each employment record independently. The data is always loaded using the tax type that was in effect as of the payment date for the year-end adjustment process. When the tax type changes during the year, you may need to make a manual adjustment on the Prior Employment page so that the system bases the year-end adjustment and Withholding Tax report on the proper salary amount.

Example: Employee is Paid from One Employment Record Each Month

As an example, assume that an employee's salaries were paid from Empl Rec Nbr 0 (employment record number 0) for every month except May through August when salaries were paid from Empl Rcd Nbr 1 as shown in this table:

Empl Rcd #

Jan

Feb

Mar

Apr

May

Jun

Jul

Aug

Sept

Oct

Nov

Dec

Kou

Assume that the payment date is December 30. Because the employee's tax type as of this date is Kou, as long as the employee meets other conditions that are required for the year-end adjustment, the adjustment is processed on Empl Rec Nbr 0. The year-end adjustment is based on the salaries that were paid for Empl Rec Nbr 0 from January to April and from September to December, and the Withholding Tax report is printed.

To include salaries that were paid from May to August for Empl Rcd Nbr 1 in the year-end adjustment purposes, you must access the Prior Employment page for Empl Rcd Nbr 0 and enter the salaries and deductions for Empl Rcd Nbr 1 before you run the year-end adjustment process for Empl Rec Nbr 0.

Preparing for YEA Reporting

This section provides an overview of YEA Report Data JPN preparation and discusses how to:

Update municipality codes and recipient numbers.
Load YEA Report Data JPN.
View and update the YEA data table.

Understanding YEA Report Data JPN Preparation

The Load YEA Table Application Engine process (GPJP_YEALOAD) loads an intermediate table that contains most of the data that is necessary for these reports: withholding tax, wage payment, legal payment summary, and withholding tax register.

Regardless of whether you use the self-service or manual method of collecting data, follow this sequence when preparing to report YEA data:

Update employee addresses if necessary.

If you collect YEA data through self-service transaction, you accomplish this step using the Employee Personal Information page and the Load YEA Self-Service Data process (GPJP_YEASSLD).
Run the Pre-Load Inhabitant Tax process (GPJP_IHMUN1) to preload municipality codes to the Inhabitant Tax table.
Update employee recipient numbers, if necessary, on the Maintain Inhab Tax Data JPN page.
Run the Load YEA Report Data JPN process (GPJP_YEALOAD).
Update the Submit to Tax Agent indicator and edit the summary, if necessary, on the YEA Report Data JPN page.
