Set a maximum value to shelter for a tax sheltered deduction

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 117

Hello all,

We are setting up Payroll for one of our clients.  They have pension set up as a deduction on their employees.  The statutory rule is an annual amount of N$40,000.00 (max) is sheltered from the taxable amount.  This translates to a monthly amount of N$3,333.33.

What this means is, anyone contributing pension of up to N$3,333.33 a month will have this tax sheltered.  For anyone who is paying more than this amount, the excess will be considered for tax.   The sheltering works well for anyone contributing less than than or equal to the thresh hold.  Is there a way in Dynamics GP that I can set the maximum sheltered amount to be N$3,333.33 so that if anyone is contributing more than this the system will only exempt up to the maximum amount and factor in the excess for tax calculation.

    This cannot be done automatically in GP. A deduction code (or any type of payroll code) for an employee is either tax-sheltered for a tax year, or it is not. Generally, this has to be accomplished with two separate codes. We've done customizations in this area and would be happy to discuss if interested. All the best!

    You can give me a call at 217-689-4658 or send me an email (tfranz@integrity-data.com) to discuss. Thanks!

    Hi Chamu,

    Like Tom mentioned, you would need two separate codes, and only enroll the employee in the tax sheltered code up to the allowed amount. You can use the Maximum deduction/Year or per Pay Period fields to help with controlling the limit.
