Setting Specific Tax Rates
SuitePeople U.S. Payroll determines the federal, state, and local tax items applicable to your company, based on your company's main office address and list of workplaces. These tax items are displayed on the Taxes subtab of the Set Up Payroll page.
Tax rate fields that appear dimmed are maintained by the tax engine and cannot be updated by you. If these fields are not the correct rate, contact Customer Support.
Some tax rate fields are editable so that you can set rates specific to your organization. If you set your own tax rates, updates are your responsibility.
To set specific tax rates:
-
Go to Setup > Payroll > Set Up Payroll.
-
Click the Taxes subtab.
-
Do any of the following:
-
If your company is exempt from a tax rate, check the Exempt box beside the tax rate.
-
If a tax rate has changed for your company, enter the new rate in the Rate column.
-
To change the effective date for the tax rate, in the Effective Date column, enter a date (mm/dd/yyyy). You can also use the calendar icon.
-
To view the history of rate changes and the effective or expiration date for that change, click View in the History column.
-
-
Click Save.
After you make changes to tax rates, make sure that you update payroll information. For more information, see Updating Payroll Information.
