(AUS) Understanding Employee Tax Information for Australia

To ensure that the system calculates employee payroll taxes correctly, you must set up information about each employee.

After you enter general employee information into the system, you must also enter employee payroll tax information. Payroll tax information enables the system to calculate earnings and tax information to ensure accurate tax reporting. Contact the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for more information about setting up employee tax information.

Note: The system uses an algorithm to verify that the tax file number that you enter is valid. The system also notifies you if you enter a duplicate tax file number. In addition, you can enter one of these tax file numbers to report special circumstances to the ATO. For additional information about the purpose of these special tax file numbers, contact the ATO.111 111 111222 222 222333 333 333444 444 444555 555 555666 666 666777 777 777888 888 888999 999 999
