Overriding Tax Methods

The variable TAX VR METHOD, which controls the tax calculation method used by the system for each earning and deduction, has three possible values: A (annualized), C (cumulative), and S (supplemental). Most of the earnings delivered with PeopleSoft Global Payroll for United States have a default tax method of A. Exceptions exist, such as the BONUS earning, which has a tax method of S. You can change the tax method for an earning at the payee level on the Element Detail page of the Element Assignment By Payee component (GP_ED_PYE) for a recurring modification, and on the positive input component (GP_PI_MNL_ERNDED) for a one-time modification.

This example illustrates the fields and controls for tax method override on Element Detail page.
