Nigeria Consolidated Relief ("CRA") 2021 calculations

SUGGESTED

Hi,

The recent changes in legislations states that CRA is calculated on gross income less all non taxable income which would included the allowable deductions such as life insurance, NHF & Pension amongst others.

If an employee wants his/her personal life insurance premium to be processed via the payroll, it would be added under the perks screen as it is not a deduction nor a company contribution. However, the system does not accommodate the change in legislation to then mark the life insurance as a GI deduction same as what has been changed on the deduction definition screen.  

How would we go about ensuring the CRA calculation is correct, without processing this as a deduction with an opposite negative entry to avoid an impact on nett pay?
