Setting Specific Tax Rates

SuitePeople U.S. Payroll determines the federal, state, and local tax items applicable to your company, based on your main office address and list of workplaces. You’ll see these tax items on the Taxes subtab of the Set Up Payroll page.

Note:

Tax rate fields that appear dimmed are managed by the tax engine and are not editable. If these rates are not correct, contact Customer Support.

Some tax rate fields are editable, so you can set rates specific to your organization. If you set your own tax rates, you’re responsible for keeping them updated.

To set specific tax rates:

  1. Go to Setup > Payroll > Set Up Payroll.

  2. Click the Taxes subtab.

  3. 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.

  4. Click Save.

After you change tax rates, make sure you update payroll information. For more information, see Updating Payroll Information.
