Tax Identity Number

If it is known this must be entered. It will be printed on all reports that notify this payee's details to the IRD. If you do not enter the Tax Identity Number, you are required by the IRD to deduct tax at the 'No Declaration' rate.

Tax Scale

The standard codes are supplied. A new employee will have a default tax code of 'Resident', but if you do not know the payee's Tax File Number, you should select 'No declaration'.

If you wish to make irregular payments to the employee, you may prefer to calculate tax using a method that spreads the PAYE more fairly for the employee. In this case, select a tax code of 'No tax', and in the Pay Calculation screen add a PAYE deduction and enter the cash amount to be deducted as PAYE tax.

Number of Dependants

Select the number of dependants for which the employee claims a rebate.

Tax Rate %

This will contain a value if you have received an order from the IRC for this employee or the employee has requested tax to be deducted at a higher rate than normal. A rate entered here will be applied to the total of the payee's taxable pay. It will over-ride the calculation specified by the payee's tax scale.
