COVID19 TERS amounts received and COVID19 ETI benefit?

SOLVED

WHere and how should the COVID19 TERS receipts be reflected on the payslip? They should be non-taxable amounts that are either paid out just as received or can be topped up to the extent the employer can afford for April 2020?

I have added a non-taxable income amount for now as the payslips must be done by today.

What is strange though is that I processed the payslips before and the ETI amount worked perfectly. However when I now factor in the TERS amounts received, the COVID ETI credit is no longer there. I do not understand that it is either 1 or the other - I understand that both can be claimed as all are available.

    Good day, 

    Please note that the ETI can only be claimed if you still have taxable Remuneration loaded on the System, and if the employees qualify. 

    If you only have the TERS pay out,  which is a non taxable Income, then the ETI will not calculate. 

    It is for the Company to decide if they will be topping up the Salaries or not. 

    Regards,
