Calculating tax on back pay in your Payroll Software

Payroll Software made EASY by Elite.

Due to the complexity and number of factors to consider when paying back pay, Elite Payroll Software does not calculate the tax on back pay. For a pay that includes back pay, you must:

1  Write down the tax amount before back pay is calculated.

2  Manually calculate the tax on the back-pay as per ATO instructions.

3  In the Pay Totals section, click on the Tax box, and add the back pay tax to the calculated tax amount, using the Calculator window.
