Hi there,

We have a new employee with a one-off sign on bonus of $110K - but due to huge amount, payments will be split and include in to 3 monthly payroll starting June payroll.

Can you kindly advise if we still need to use Method A or B for calculating tax on the said sign on bonus, or we can just go with the amount computed by Xero for each month? Bonus will be split to Jun-Aug for 37K, 37K, 36K respectively.

Would there also be some effect as Jun is FY21, then Jul and Aug are already reportable to FY22?

Thank you in advance.

Judy

Hi @Judy95

Method A and B are limited to 47% withholding. As we don't know what your software has calculated we're unable to advise.

However you should use the method that results in a sufficient amount to cover the employees annual tax liability.
