Maintaining and Viewing Payroll Tax Tables

To set up payroll tax data, use the Payroll Tax Elements AUS (GPAU_SPT_TAX_RATE) component.

Because each organization's earnings, benefits, deductions, and expenses can differ, the organization controls this information. Before you can accurately report on payroll tax liabilities for the organization, you need to enter various elements into the payroll tax rates tables.

This topic lists the pages used to maintain and view payroll tax data.
