AU Payroll - Working Holiday Maker Tax Rate Adjustment
Hi Xero Team,
I’ve noticed that Xero currently doesn’t support applying mixed tax brackets within the same pay run for Working Holiday Makers (WHM). For example, if an employee is set to receive $2,000 in one pay cycle, and the $45,000 threshold is reached after the first $1,000, the first $1,000 should be taxed at 15%, and the remaining $1,000 at 30% — both within the same pay cycle, using mixed tax brackets.
At the moment, Xero applies one tax bracket to the entire pay cycle. However, according to the ATO guidelines, doing so results in undercharging the employee, which could impact their tax return.
Other payroll systems have implemented this feature, so I’m curious as to why Xero hasn’t yet done so.
Thank you for your consideration!
