PR08.1 - Canada Tax Authority
Use Canada Tax Authority (PR08.1) to define a Canadian tax authority
that provides a link between the Lawson Payroll system and the Business
Software,
Inc.(BSI) tax tables.
NOTE Before you define Canada tax authorities, you must have BSI installed.
You must define your BSI tax codes before you create a Canadian tax authority.
You define BSI tax codes within the BSI system. See your BSI Procedures
Manual
for more information.
**Process at a Glance
1. Define BSI tax codes in the BSI system. For more information
see your BSI Procedures Manual.
2. Define tax authority on this form (PR08).
3. Define deduction class (PR02).
4. Define required code (PR03).
5. Define deduction (PR05).
**Processing Effect
The Lawson Payroll system works with the third party application BSI
to correctly calculate taxes. BSI maintains the correct tax tables while
Lawson
performs the calculations to deduct taxes. You must define BSI tax codes
before
you can create a Canada tax authority. You also must maintain BSI tax tables
to ensure the Payroll system calculates the correct tax amounts. See your
BSI Procedures Manual for more information.
**More Information
You define tax authorities for:
- Federal authority for Revenue Canada
- Federal authorities for each province that has a tax obligation
to the federal government
- Provincial authorities for each province with reporting requirements
separate from Revenue Canada
Before you set up your tax authorities, think about the naming convention
you want to use. Most Lawson clients use the same code for the tax authority
as they do for the BSI tax code. Using the same name makes it easier to
remember
which tax authority is linked to which BSI tax code.
You assign a tax authority to tax deductions on Deduction (PR05.1).
The BSI tax code you assign to this tax authority determines how the Payroll
application calculates the deductions you assign the tax authority to.
You also assign a tax authority to garnishment rules on Canada Garnishment
Rules (PR46.2). You can override the tax authority on Canada Employee
Garnishment
(PR47.1). The tax authority on the garnishment represents the governing body
with the authority to garnish wages.
Access the Minimum Wage subform to define a minimum wage and its effective
date for the tax authority.
A tax authority can also be defined to establish garnishment rules only.
Reports are available in the BSI system that provide listings of BSI
tax codes.
