UK Payroll > Gross pay opening balance for non-taxable elements
the current opening balance figure are only taxable pay , i need gross pay. My client has salary sacrifice and the taxable pay is less than gross so on the payslip the YTD gross is wrong. its shows the YTD figure less the deduction.
Hi Julia, thanks for sharing your idea about having non-taxable figures entered on the opening balances so that YTD figures reflect accurately on payslips.
From an HMRC compliance standpoint, Xero does calculate the correct tax because it captures the accurate "Taxable Pay" opening balance. However, we completely understand how the lack of a "Total Gross" field can cause confusing presentation issues on payslips after a mid-year migration.
We've reviewed your idea, and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it! Make sure to share this with colleagues who would benefit from this change so they can add their vote, too.
