pre or post tax deductions

Question

If I have to add a deduction to list that is not already listed, how do I know if its pre or post taxable i.e deductions of annual leave on final pay.

Hi May 
 I assume you have a Holiday Pay pay element that you use when you owe a leaver holiday pay? You can actually put a negative quanitity in the Hours field and it will show this as a negative gross value on the payments side of the payslip - which means it will be deducted from gross pay before tax, NI, pension etc are calculated.

Hello May, 
 Thanks for using Community Hub. 
 We're unable to advise whether a payment/deduction should be pre or post Tax and National Insurance. 
 However a deduction would be set up the same way it was paid.
