What do I do for tax history when I start a new employee mid way through tax year?
If you have just started Harvester and you are not starting in month one(ie January) and you would like the Accumulative Tax history to reflect correctly at year-end, then please do the following for each employee on the Edit Employee page. (note these days with the required, monthly paye submission to ZRA and no Annual paye submission requirements to ZRA, it is not as essential for the Annual return)
On this page look towards the bottom left for two fields called:
1) Taxable Income: Previous Employment
and
2) Tax Deducted: Previous Employment
Enter the Accumulated Totals for both the Gross tax and the tax paid(if any) in the respective fields above.
This is also good practice if a new employee joins your company somewhere during the tax year but not in January(month One).
Note: This "history" is only really needed for those employees who pay tax.
In summary:
When an employee starts on the online system, go to edit-employee and on the bottom of the screen look for:
Taxable Income: Previous Employment - enter the gross cumulative taxable amount so far in the current tax year.
Tax Deducted: Previous Employment - enter the gross cumulative actual tax paid so far in the current tax year.
After saving then go and re submit to recalculate the employees payslip and then PAYE TAX will then reflect correctly.
