Federal and Regional Taxes

You use the organization calculation cards to define federal and regional tax calculation rules at the payroll statutory unit (PSU) and legal reporting unit (LRU) levels.

Note:

For tax calculation purposes, you must designate your LRUs as tax reporting units (TRUs).

Info you set for a PSU applies to all TRUs attached to it. Info you set for a TRU overrides the info you set for its parent PSU.

You can set these values using the Legal Entity Calculation Cards task from your implementation project. With this task, you create or configure an organization calculation card for the PSU.

You can configure the options for these taxes.

At these levels

These are the available taxes
