Preferences – Tax Preferences

This section of Preferences controls how your payroll tax is calculated and whether payroll tax is paid on superannuation, and WorkCover (SA and QLD only) calculations.

Payroll Tax Paid In – to change the payroll tax thresholds and percentages, select your state from the drop-down list.
Note If you employ staff in other states or your company pays payroll tax as part of a group, Elite Payroll won't calculate the payroll tax correctly. Elite Payroll will only calculate the correct amount of tax for the state you have selected.

þ Payroll Tax On Employer Super – In some states you must include all employer superannuation contributions in payroll tax calculations.

Select this option to include employer superannuation in the payroll tax.

þ Payroll Tax On WorkCover – Select this option if your state requires you to include WorkCover in your Payroll Tax calculations.

FBT Rate – You must record the value of fringe benefits provided to your employees. You may also need to report a value of benefits on the employees' Payment Summaries. Elite Payroll does not track Fringe Benefits Tax, but it does calculate and track the grossed-up Reportable FBT Amount based on the FBT Rate and the amounts you enter on the Employee record – Fringe Benefits tab.

GST Rate on WorkCover – If GST applies to your WorkCover, enter the GST rate.

Low Rate Threshold –– Enter the Low Rate Threshold for your state
