Workplace Giving Deductions

In line with changes introduced by the ATO for the end of financial year 2006-07, payroll can now process deductions which are specifically for "workplace giving" or salary sacrifice to charity. Workplace giving is distinct from normal salary sacrifice because, though both types of deductions will reduce the employees taxable income, workplace giving must be included in the gross on the payment summary, where normal salary sacrifice is not shown on the payment summary.

This category contains specific deduction types which will be withheld from an employee's pay (except manual tax or employee super contributions). You can also include bank account details for a third-party recipient, e.g. Centrelink.
