Downloading the latest tax tables(Desktop only)

Always ensure your tax rates are accurate before finalising payroll.

A new "Get Latest Tax Tables" option is added in the Employees menu.

When selected, the Reckon Accounts Payroll Updates window will appear on-screen. The system will check your current tax table version and compare it with the latest version available online. If an update is available, the following dialogue will be displayed as below where:

OK button — applies the payroll data updates.
Cancel button — does not apply the updates and closes the dialogue.

Reckon Accounts supports two payroll financial years. For instance, Reckon Accounts 2024 includes the PAYG Tax Tables for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years by default.Future updates will maintain this support, covering both the previous and the most recent financial years.

Only Administrators or users with Payroll permissions can perform Payroll data update actions in Single User Mode. Warning dialogues will appear if a user without the required elevated role attempts this action.

Upon clicking OK, the system will download and apply the updates to the installation folder. Once completed, a confirmation dialogue will appear to notify the user.

Reckon Accounts needs to be restarted once applied.

It will also notify the user if there are no updates available.

Automatic Payroll data version check

Reckon Accounts will automatically check for tax table updates when you process a pay run. This ensures you're always using the latest version without needing to check manually.

When you open the "Enter Payroll Information" window, the system will compare your current version with the latest version available. If updates are available, you'll be notified and follow the prompt. You can easily download them by going to Employees > Get Latest Tax Tables.

If no updates are available, you won't see any notifications.

And if there’s a connection issue, you'll receive a message to check your internet connection and try again. Please see Known messages and cause for more information.
