Negative PAYE on February Payslip

SUGGESTED

An employee has gone on Maternity leave from February and will be receiving 2/3's of her usual salary while on leave.  Of course this reduced payment has resulted in a negative PAYE for her February pay and she is the only staff member that earns enough to have PAYE deducted so my total PAYE for February is a negative.  How do I recover this over payment of PAYE since I can't process a negative on the EMP201?

    Good day, 

    The answer that Danny and Jerina gave you is correct. 

    You will  need to zero out the PAYE in the period where it is a Negative PAYE. 

    To zero the negative tax (refund) on the employees payslip do the following:

    Click on the plus next to deductions
    > Select additional tax
    > Enter the same tax value but as a positive value so that they can cancel each other out.

    The employee will be able to claim the refund back from SARS when she does her Personal Returns. 

    Regards,
