AU Payroll - Option to enter withholding tax variation as an additional percentage
The witholding variation should be on top of the existing PAYG calculation not overrides it, as it currently does. If an employee completes a MyGov employee Tax Form and notes they want an additional % amount variation withheld - it should be on top of their existing PAYG tax, not instead of it. There is no other option to put in a percentage amount in XERO.
Or allow the upward variation amount to be a percentage amount - not just a fixed amount.
The screenshot attached shows this employee should be paying tax on the full amount (no threshold claimed) but the pay run only calculated a total of 10% tax.

We need to be able to use a percentage for an upward variation as well, rather than an amount. At the moment the percentage is only available under the downward variation. Our staff are casuals so having to calculate the percentage and enter it manually for every pay run is a pain & increases the margin for errors. It would be really appreciated if you could add the percentage option to for the upward variation as well PLEASE. Thank you!
