Particular Scenarios
Calculations cater for situations where employees are exempted from the OT concession tax mid-year. For employees who are opted out of the OT concession tax, their tax paid to date is equivalent of their FSS tax + OT tax.
When re-calculating payrolls, the system will appropriately calculate employees' taxes and gross pay according to the OT tax concession and employment type statuses set historically during the given pay period.
The sum of all taxes (OT + share options + FSS + other) is capped at 50 percent of the employee's gross pay value. In cases where the sum of taxes does exceed the 50 percent sum, the FSS tax is adjusted or reduced to fall within the limit.
