RESC amount changes after upgrading to Accounts Business 2013 R2 (Tax Table Update)

Legacy KB ID: 4952

Question

Why does the RESC field on the Payment Summary for an employee show less after applying the Tax Table Update 2013 than before the Tax Table Update?

 

Answer

Print Payment Summary for this employee from the R1 release of Accounts Business 2013.

Cause:
You will experience this issue when you pay your employees more than the statutory amount under the Super (SA) item.  To June 30, 2013, the statutory amount was 9.00%.  From July 1, 2013 the statutory rate is 9.25%.  Accounts Business uses the Statutory rate as the base for calculating how much is reported as RESC.

If you modify a pay containing such a super item created before the Tax Table Update 2013 (Accounts Business 2013 R3) was applied in any way, after its application, then the RESC amount will be recalculated with a base of 9.25% resulting in a lower amount being reported.

It does not matter that your modification made no change to the super amount or type.

Your Payment Summary and EmpDupe file now no longer report the correct figures.
