  How Do I?

Having updated a Tax rate, how do I check that the Tax Constants are calculating correctly?

There are a two ways you can check your Tax Constants to ensure that you have entered them correctly. (Use the second method for verifying HECS calculations).

The first is by printing the 'Check against ATO brochure' option:

Go to MAINTENANCE > TAX CONSTANTS
Select CHECK AGAINST ATO BROCHURE
This will print a small sample of all tax scales for weekly, fortnightly & monthly instalments
Use this sample range of figures to check against the ATO published rates

The second is to use the Test Tax Scale Option:

Go to MAINTENANCE > TAX CONSTANTS
Highlight the tax scale you are interested in
Click on the TEST button
The information supplied will be for a range of weekly earnings and the calculated tax deduction for the selected tax scale
You can select the START, END, and INCREMENT values to match those of the published ATO tax scales
Click on the REFRESH button
Choose a random sample of the figures and check these against the ATO tables

Hint: You can also select one or more tax scales to print at the same time by using the SELECT SCALES button and choosing the scales you are interested in. Remember to hit the REFRESH button after selecting.

  Website of the Week

If you have ever moved house you would know how long it takes to advise everyone of your new address. You can waste a lot of time on hold in queues to call centres, filling out and mailing change of address forms all whilst trying to organise removalists, pack and then unpack your possessions!

This website aims to provide a "one-stop shop" for people moving house. It will save you time as you simply enter your old and new address details once, select the service providers you wish to notify and let the website do the rest! It will even provide you with contact details for removalists, storage space providers and cleaning and maintenance services.

The website uses similar security technology to that used by major banks and credit card companies and only information that is relevant to each service provider is sent to them. Change My Address also guarantees that your information will not be sold to marketing and direct mail companies.

You can log back in to the site at any time to send your new details to a service provider that you may have forgotten. The service keeps a log of all notifications sent so that you can refer back to them. It also provides you with e-cards to send to your friends as notification of your new address.

Moving house can be quite a headache. The Change My Address website offers some relief, mainly because you don't have to listen to any hold music!
