Foreign Employment PDBA Setup
In order to track foreign employment wages and earnings, you must enter foreign employment tax information on the PDBAs you use to designate foreign employment wages. You must pay employees using these PDBAs in order to generate foreign employment payroll history.
You specify foreign employment information on the Tax Instructions - Australia form, as shown here:
When entering tax information for foreign PDBAs, you typically enter a 1 in only one field in the tax input sections of this form. However, you can enter a 1 in multiple fields to mark the pay type as tax-exempt. In the example above, the pay type is set up as a standard domestic PDBA that is tax exempt.
In addition to specifying a tax input, you must also enter a value in the Australia Tax Reporting field. Use these values as a guideline when setting up foreign PDBAs:
Input 10 - FX
Input 11 - FA
Input 12 - FE
Input 13 - FM
Input 14 - JX
Input 15 - JA
Input 16 - JE
Input 17 - JM
To specify that a pay type is tax exempt, you enter 1 in multiple fields, as follows:
