Africa: New and Changed Reports

The ‘Employed from Date’ incorrectly used the employee's Date Engaged and the Company Tax Year Start Date. 

 

This was causing submission errors because the date required must either be the start date of the month of the submission or the employee’s Tax Start Date, if the person joined after the start of the applicable submission month.

 

The ‘Employed from Date’ field was updated to populate the date as follow:

 

• If the employee’s Tax Start Date is equal to or before the submission month’s start date, then the submission month start date will print.

• If the employee’s Tax Start Date is after the submission month’s start date, then the employee’s Tax Start Date will print.

   

The column for PAYE Tax Calculation Method on the Detail Report Sheet was not populating, but this issue has been resolved.

 

The FCT IRS Form H1 is an annual tax submission report required from employers registered for tax in the State of Abuja.

 

The report is a detailed report and must only include employees whose tax deducted must be declared to the State of Abuja.

 

The new FCT IRS Form H1 report is available on the Nigeria Report Screen.

 

Before using the report, you must complete the Report Setup.

 

On the Report Setup, you must link the applicable Payroll Definition Lines to the selection fields for Taxable Income, Tax Deducted and Life Assurance.

 

After completing all the Report Selections, you can continue to run the report.

 

When running the report, additional setup information is required and must be completed to create the submission file with the correct required values.

 

The following fields must be completed:

 

Field	Description
Select State/Province Field	This report requires that only employees linked to the State\Province of Abuja be included in the report.   To only include employees linked to the State of Abuja, you must click on the lookup and select the relevant options from the list of States\Provinces added to the system.   You can only select one State\Province at a time. If you want to include all employees in the report, then do not select a State\Province.   To be able to select a State\Province, the Codes must already exist in the system.   To ensure the correct employees are included in the report, all employees must be linked to the correct State\Province on the Employee Statutory Information Screen.
Organization\Employer	Initially this field defaults from the ‘Company Name for Reports’ field on the Basic Company Information Screen.   If you require a different Company Name to print on the report, you can change the default value to the required name.
Employer TIN	Initially this field defaults from the ‘Tax Registration Number’ field on the Basic Company Information Screen.   If you require a different TIN Number to print on the report, you can change the default value to the required number.   If no Tax Registration Number was captured on the Basic Company Information Screen, no values will default.
Company Physical Address fields	Initially these fields default from the ‘Company Physical Address’ fields on the Basic Company Address Detail Screen.   If you require a different physical address to print on the report, you can change the default address.   If no Physical Address was captured on the Basic Company Information Screen, no values will default.

 

Once all the fields are completed, you can continue to print the report.

The report will open in MS Excel. You will be prompted to save the report in the selected location.
