Maintenance Responsibility

Select PeopleSoft to view the PeopleSoft Tax Classes grid, which lists the tax classes that PeopleSoft delivers. This grid is read-only, so you cannot modify the delivered tax classes nor can you add new tax classes.

Select Customer to view the Customer Tax Classes grid, where you can add and maintain additional tax classes.

Important! If you add your own tax classes, you are responsible for all customizations that are necessary to use those tax classes. Simply adding a tax class to this table does not affect payroll processing.

Tax Class

Displays a three-digit code for the tax class.

All one-character codes are either used by PeopleSoft or reserved by PeopleSoft for future use.

Tax class codes 0-5, which are reserved for future PeopleSoft use, are delivered with the description Reserved for PeopleSoft Use and the short description Reserved.

When you create your own tax class codes, you must use two-character or three-character codes where the first character is a number from 0 to 5.
