Tax Reference Tracking

IRAS reporting is controlled by the company (tax) reference number. Each pay group is assigned a company tax reference code, which is independent of the company or pay entity. This provides more flexibility in the way that you set up pay entities. Company tax details, such as name and contacts, are stored against the tax reference number.

The array IRS AR TAX REF is included in the initialization section of the Singapore payroll process list to load the value of the company tax reference (GPSG_CPY_TAX_REF) from the pay group extension record into variable IRS VR TAX REF.

The tax reference number and balance group number are included as user keys on all year-to-date accumulators that are used in IRAS reporting. The balance group number enables you to maintain separate balances for separate periods of employment for employees with multiple jobs, or for those that transfer from one company to another. The year-to-date accumulators that PeopleSoft provides with all delivered earnings and deduction elements have the variables IRS VR TAX REF and IRS VR BAL GRP included as user keys 1 and 2. You should also do this for any new elements that you create.
