Creating Deduction Elements

To ensure that new deduction elements you create are used correctly in other calculations, you need to know which accumulators they should contribute to, since the value of the accumulated deductions is critical to these other processes. The accumulator elements to which you will be adding your elements are the same ones that Global Payroll for Brazil has created for the delivered deduction elements. These are listed and described below:

• Any deduction that you want to contribute to the Net Pay should be included in the TOTAL DESCONTOS N accumulator.

  Note: Many deductions are only for demonstration purposes. These dummy deductions should not be included in TOTAL DESCONTOS N.

• Any deduction that you want to subtract from the taxable base for federal tax purposes should be included in the IR REN BRUTA accumulator, if it should reduce the calculation base, or in the IR DEDUCOES accumulator, if it is a legal income tax deduction.

Adding your new deductions to the proper accumulators ensures that the new element fits into the existing logic and organization of Global Payroll for Brazil and that it is included in the correct calculations for taxes, social security, and so forth.
