Import employee salaries

You can import employees each quarter, however, you only need to import the salaries for those employees in quarter 4, and only if you are using the Attribution method. When you do import salaries, ensure you import the physical cash pay amount, not the annualised salary. Remember that the cash pay amount includes salaries, bonuses and other cash payments that the entity made to the employee. See the Manage salary confidentiality section below to learn how to any resolve confidentiality issues you may have.

We provide you with a template which contains several column headers corresponding to the data that is required and any other data you can import. Please read our Overview of the data import process before you begin.

1. In Microsoft Excel, prepare your source data to meet the requirements of the template.
2. Select and copy your data (including the column headers).
3. In Taxlab, In the entity’s FBT calculation, click the Workpapers tab > Employees.
4. On the Employees page, click the relevant Quarter tab.
5. Click the Import button.
6. Click in the box and paste your data.
7. Select the confidentiality option which suits your privacy needs.
8. Click the Import to [Q x] [tax year] button.
9. If the import is successful, a message displays in a green banner informing you of the number of records that were imported. Click the Close button.
10. Check your imported data to ensure it imported as expected.
