Guidelines for Loading Employee Tax Cards for Mexico

You must have one Calculation Card record for every Mexico employee you are maintaining taxes, social insurance, and loans data for.

Even if you are updating an existing Employee Tax Card and the calculation card itself isn’t being updated, you must still include the calculation card record to group other related data supplied in the file.

Employee Tax Card Calculation Card Attributes

The Employee Tax Card calculation card uses these attributes:

HCM Data Loader Attribute Alternative User Key Attributes Functional Description
SourceSystemId CardSequence, AssignmentNumber, DirCardDefinitionName, LegislativeDataGroupName A unique identifier for the Employee Tax Card calculation card. For new calculation card supply the source key attributes. You can also identify calculation cards with the user key attributes.
SourceSystemOwner N/A The name of the source system owner used to generate the source system ID.
LegislativeDataGroupName N/A The name of the legislative data group for the calculation card.
DirCardDefinitionName N/A The name of the card definition. Specify ‘Employee Tax Card’.
AssignmentId(SourceSystemId) AssignmentNumber Either supply the source system ID, or assignment number that identifies the employee assignment this calculation card is for.
EffectiveStartDate N/A The start date of the calculation card, typically the employee’s start date.
CardSeqeunce N/A A number to uniquely identify this card when multiple calculation cards for the same card definition exist for the employee. Not required when source keys are used.

Employee ISR Tax Card Component

The Employee ISR Tax card component captures tax related information which allows overrides for the Employee ISR Tax Information value definition group. This card component is automatically generated for you if the Employee Tax Card is automatically generated.

If you need to update the defaulted tax information, provide an Employee ISR Tax card component and the value definitions and value overrides.

Card Component Attributes for Employee ISR Tax

The Employee ISR Tax card component uses these attributes:

HCM Data Loader Attribute Alternative User Key Attributes Functional Description
SourceSystemId CardSequence, ComponentSequence, AssignmentNumber, DirCardDefinitionName, LegislativeDataGroupName, DirCardCompDefName A unique identifier for the Employee ISR Tax card component. For new card components supply the source key attributes. You can also identify card components with the user key attributes.
SourceSystemOwner N/A The name of the source system owner used to generate the source system ID.
LegislativeDataGroupName N/A The name of the legislative data group for the card component definition.
DirCardId(SourceSystemId) CardSequence, AssignmentNumber, DirCardDefinitionName, LegislativeDataGroupName The parent Employee Tax Card calculation card should be identified by using the same key type used to identify the calculation card.

When using source keys, supply this attribute with the value supplied for the calculation card’s SourceSystemId attribute. Otherwise, supply the user key attributes with the same values as the parent calculation card.

EffectiveStartDate N/A The start date of the Employee ISR Tax card component, typically the employee’s start date. This must be on or after the EffectiveStartDate on the Employee Tax Card calculation card.
EffectiveEndDate N/A The end date is optional for the card component
DirCardCompDefName N/A The component definition name. Specify ‘Employee ISR Tax’.

Employee ISR Tax Value Definitions

The Employee ISR Tax card component uses value definitions to supply override values:

Value Definition Name Functional Description
Exclude From Annual Adjustments Employee’s exemption to ISR Annual Adjustments (overrides the value stored in the Calculation Value Definition).

Provides the option to exclude an employee from the annual tax adjustment process.

The default value for this field is No. If you want to exclude the employee from the annual tax adjustment, select Yes.

ISR Severance Rule Determines which Severance ISR tax calculation method to use.

The default is Subject Earnings Greater Than or Equal to Monthly Salary. This means that the Severance tax calculation method is used if the Severance ISR Subject portion is greater than or equal to the Monthly Salary.

If you select None, the severance ISR calculation method is used with no comparison and regardless of the severance amount.

If you choose Total Earnings Greater Than or Equal to Monthly Salary, the severance tax calculation method is used if the total severance payment (subject plus exempt portions) is greater than or equal to the Monthly Salary.

ISR Subsidy Adjustment on Regular Run Type For each payroll run, the standard ISR calculation adjusts the amount of subsidy for employment to prevent exceeding the monthly cap. This adjustment compares the month-to-date (MTD) subject earnings balance with the prorated monthly subsidy for employment rates. This override determines if the ISR Subsidy for Employment is adjusted during a Regular payroll run type.

Subsidy for employment is calculated (adjusted or not) based on the rates determined by the existing ISR Subsidy Proration on Payroll Run Type override.

The default is yes, whereby the Subsidy for employment is adjusted based on the MTD ISR subject earnings balance.

If no is selected, the Subsidy for employment is calculated with no adjustment considering the current processing pay period ISR subject earnings (Run balance).

ISR Subsidy Proration on Payroll Run Type This override determines if the ISR Subsidy for Employment is calculated based on the periods in the month and on the proration of the monthly Subsidy for Employment rates. The Subsidy for Employment calculation basis will be the MTD ISR subject earnings balance in all scenarios except if the ISR Subsidy for employment Adjustment on Regular payroll run override is set to No. In this case, the basis will be the Run balance.

The payroll run type(s) excluded by this value definition will use a Subsidy for Employment rates factor of one (no proration). This means that the full monthly rates are used to calculate the Subsidy for Employment.

The default is Regular and Monthly Tax Adjustment (Default). This means that the Subsidy for Employment Proration is applied to both payroll run types: Monthly Tax Adjustment and Regular.

For None, no Subsidy for Employment proration (factor 1) is applied to both payroll run types, Monthly Tax Adjustment and Regular.

If you select Regular, proration is applied only to the Regular run type. The Monthly Tax Adjustment run type will use a Subsidy for Employment proration factor of one.

If you select the Monthly Tax Adjustment, proration is applied only to the Monthly Tax Adjustment run type. Regular run type will use a Subsidy for Employment proration factor of one.

ISR Tax Calculation This override determines if the ISR tax is calculated. The default value is 'Yes'.
Note: If this override is set to 'No', it takes precedence over all other Employee ISR Tax component overrides.
ISR Tax Proration on Monthly Tax Adjustment Run Type The standard Monthly Tax Adjustment ISR tax calculation procedure calculates the tax rates based on a factor derived from the periods the employee has worked in the month.

This override applies only to the Monthly Tax Adjustment payroll run type and determines to calculate the tax based on the periods in the month. The tax calculation basis will be the month-to-date (MTD) ISR subject earnings balance.

The default is yes. This means that the ISR tax calculation determines the tax rates based on a factor derived from the periods the employee has worked in the month.

If you select No, the ISR Tax rates are applied with a factor of one (no proration), regardless of the period when the Monthly Tax Adjustment run type is processed nor the employee hire date.

Pay Subsidy for Employment on Payroll Run Type When an employee has two or more employers, they must select which employer will pay the subsidy for employment in the ISR tax calculation.

The options to determine when the subsidy is calculated include:

  • Monthly Adjustment

The subsidy for employment is calculated only for the monthly tax adjustment run type.

  • None

The subsidy for employment is never calculated.

  • Regular

The subsidy for employment is calculated only for the regular run type.

  • Regular and Monthly Tax Adjustment (default)

The subsidy for employment is calculated for both regular and monthly tax adjustment run types.

State Tax Exempt Employee’s exemption to State Tax (overrides the value stored in the Calculation Value Definition).

Some companies or government agencies aren't required to pay the employer state tax.

Select 'Yes', to exclude this employee from the state tax calculation. The default value for this field is 'No'.
