Create a Legal Entity Calculation Card for Mexico

This topic demonstrates how you can create a calculation card at the legal entity level. The calculation card captures information for the organization at the legislative level, you can override this information at the tax reporting unit (TRU) level.

Use the Legal Entity Deduction records task to create the card at the payroll statutory unit (PSU) level. If you need overrides at the TRU level, the same steps apply but you use the Legal Reporting unit Calculation Cards task instead.

A legal entity organization card captures the ISR tax and social security specific to your organization. It also enables you to specify the relevant employer state tax information. On the legal entity organization card, on the Calculation Cards tab, in the Enterable Calculation Values, when you enter values, they replace the values defined at the legislative level.

    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 it uses the Severance tax calculation method if the Severance ISR Subject portion is greater than or equal to the Monthly Salary.

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

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

    String

    Subject Earnings Greater Than or Equal to 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 it adjusts the ISR Subsidy for Employment during a Regular payroll run type.

    The application calculates subsidy for employment (adjusted or not) based on the rates determined by the existing ISR Subsidy Proration on Payroll Run Type override.

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

    If you select No, it calculates the Subsidy for employment with no adjustment considering the current processing pay period ISR subject earnings (Run balance).

    String

    Yes

    ISR Subsidy Proration on Payroll Run Type

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

    The payroll run types excluded by this value definition use a Subsidy for Employment rates factor of one (no proration). This means that the application uses full monthly rates to calculate the Subsidy for Employment.

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

    For None, it doesn't apply any Subsidy for Employment proration (factor 1) to both payroll run types, Monthly Tax Adjustment and Regular.

    If you select Regular, it applies proration only to the Regular run type. The Monthly Tax Adjustment run type uses a Subsidy for Employment proration factor of one.

    If you select the Monthly Tax Adjustment, it applies proration only to the Monthly Tax Adjustment run type. Regular run type uses a Subsidy for Employment proration factor of one.

    String

    This override determines if the application calculates ISR tax. The default value is Yes. Note:

    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 is 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.

    String Yes
