Dear X3 HR and Payroll User,
Previously an option was added on X3 HR and Payroll to exclude all employer contributions for SSNIT on the DT0107a and DT0108a as per the instruction from the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as all users should have the option to include all employer contributions. However, by excluding the employer contributions it seems as if the employees were overtaxed as the cash emoluments are lesser on the reports than what was used in the tax calculation. The statutory reports were therefore updated to allow users to include excess employer contributions for SSNIT if the user opted to exclude employer contributions. Enhancements have also been made to the annual statutory reports to accommodate the new statutory totals added to the pay plan where the user elects to contribute the excess Tier 1 contribution towards Tier 2. The statutory pay plan has also been updated to record the limit of 16.5% of Basic Salary/Gross Income or Assessable Income used to calculate the tax deductible deduction for SSNIT.
The following statutory reports were updated with enhancements and to accommodate for the SSNIT changes:
- GH-DT0107a Tax Deductions Schedule
- GH-DT0108 Annual PAYE Return
- GH-DT0108 Annual Tax Deduction Schedule
Enhancements have also been added to the Ghana localisation to accommodate for tax certificates to be distributed to employees. The following report has been added:
- GH- TAX-CER Ghana tax certificates
