    Agreed - would make life much easier when doing grouped payroll tax returns

  • Karen Rees commented  ·   ·  Report

    State based compliance for Payroll Tax and Workers Compensation means being able to report on employees by state would save a great deal of time / manual collation.

    I also agree that a column in the Payroll Employee Summary report that shows the sum of gross Wages and Superannuation would be useful (unlike the reimbursement column).

    I process payroll with employees in 3 states. I have to separate out their wages for payroll tax and workcover. I export the employee summary to excel and manually calculate. I also add a formula to the reimbursement column to sum the wages and super. Would be great to have that as an option to calculate as well as the employees state included.

    Agree, Xero needs to have a Payroll report for Portable LSL, Workcover and Payroll tax clients. which includes - Full name of employee, type of employment (FT, PT, apprentice or casual) Aust State they live in, Pay run 'Group' and 'Tracking' codes, capable of being selected in any date range (not just annually), Gross wages, tax, super, allowances and show 'quantity of employees' somewhere for those that have a lot of employees (100+).

  • Ali Kronk commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would make things a lot easier for any state-based obligations, payroll tax in particular

  • Freya Pieroz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yeah - the big problem for me with my own workaround is that we can only have two active tracking categories, so if I use one for payroll tax then I only have one for everything else. I'd rather have a report.

  • Janet Shen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thank you.

    We already use tracking category for employee cost centres and cost centres can cover different states.

  • Freya Pieroz commented  ·   ·  Report

    We get around this by manually assigning a tracking category to each employee, but that is subject to user error. An automatic report based on postcode would be easier (some of us would still have to adjust it for cross-border employees, like those that live in nearby NSW but work in Canberra, but it would give us a starting point).

    Can we have a report that can run employee information by state? It is one very important feature for payroll tax
