    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this. We appreciate you sharing how important it is to be able to add an additional percentage on top of PAYG.

    As you’re aware, you can increase the amount of tax withheld each pay, however the figure must be a fixed amount.

    We understand some of you have been using workarounds like manual calculations or withholding variations, which create challenges if employees earnings are not fixed.

    While this feature isn't currently on our roadmap, we've updated this idea to Accepted, so that it’s up for formal consideration.

    We're grateful for your continued input as it helps us understand what matters.

    The ATO specifically provides this option to employees when completing their online TFN Declaration, which is then linked electronically with the business. If it is provided at the ATO level I feel like it should absolutely be included in all payroll software; I now have to manually calculate an employee's tax every week and hope I don't muck it up because they have requested via the ATO's form an additional % PAYG and their pay varies from week to week given that they are casual.
