How do I update Tax Scales from a file, as I do not have an internet connection?

Tax Scales are to help you work out how much to withhold from payments you make to your employees.

Cashbook Plus! uses standard Australian Taxation Office formula to calculate tax installment deductions.

The Australian government usually announces changes to the tax rates around the start of each payroll year.

If you are connected to the internet, you will be automatically notified if your current tax scales are out of date and will be prompted to download the latest tax scales.

If you are not connected to the internet, you need to contact Practical Systems on 1800 624 688 and ask for the latest Tax Scales File (saved on a disk) to be posted to you.

When you receive the file:

• Insert the disk into your computer's disk drive.
• Click on the Payroll icon,  
• Click on the Tax Scales tab.
• Click on the Import Tax Scales From File button.

• In the Import Tax Scales from ... window, locate the file saved on the disk, click on it to select.
• Click on the Open button. 
• Click Yes to Confirm message: 'Import Tax Scales from D:\tsupdateOct2016.txt now?'
• Click OK to Information message: ' Your tax scales have been updated. Please check that all your employees have been assigned the correct tax scale.'

Note: Last Updated will now show a new date. eg.
