This screen is only applicable where Welsh legislation applies. It enables you to set up and maintain the income tax parameters that ResourceLink uses to calculate PAYE deductions. The rates are set by the Welsh government.

Selection

Effective Date

Enter the effective date of the income tax parameters that you want to maintain, or select one by clicking WINDOW to display Tax Tables.

If the effective date does not exist, a prompt is displayed allowing you to create the new date. If you choose to create the new effective date, Copy Tax Table Version is displayed where you can copy an existing set of parameters and amend the details.

Table Detail

This section of the screen allows you to enter an earnings threshold and an associated PAYE tax rate for a number of income tax bands.

Earnings

For each income tax band, enter an earnings threshold value.

WRIT

Tax rates for Welsh citizens – that is, employees who have a Welsh tax code specified in Tax Code Detail. For each income tax band, enter the percentage tax rate that applies.

Miscellaneous

This section of the screen details various tax parameters additional to the tax thresholds and rates.

Basic Rate Band

Enter the band number of the basic rate of tax.

Tax Rebate Limit

Enter the tax rebate limit, above which all tax rebates are withheld from automatic payment. This is principally used if a new employee provides you with the wrong information on their P45, and the system calculates that a large rebate should be given. The system must withhold large rebate payments from being processed automatically. If the tax office approves the rebate, you can release it manually for the employee.

GAYE Limit

Give-as-you-earn (GAYE) enables employees to give money up to a specified limit to charity each year with tax relief. Enter the limit of GAYE contributions that attract tax relief, or zero for ‘no limit’.

Regulatory Rate Limit

Enter the maximum percentage of taxable gross income that is deductible. This provides the tax office with a means of acquiring revenue from employees whose taxable benefits exceed their taxable allowances.
