I run a very small business. We have one owner manager and one parttime employee.
We're incorporated, so we use the online ROS payroll system.
As the business is so small, we don't have any payroll software, and I do the payroll using spreadsheets.
We therefore use the payroll forms provided by Revenue to submit our payrolls to them.
We qualify for the scheme as it's looking like our turnover will be down.
The instructions issued by Revenue are as follows:-
=====
1) Set PRSI Class to J9.
2) Enter a non-taxable amount equal to 70% of the employee’s Average Net Weekly Pay to etc...
5) It is important that employers do not include the Temporary Wage Subsidy payment in Gross Pay.
The PRSI class is no problem.
The problem is, in the online payroll forms provided by Revenue, there does not appear to be a field for "non-taxable pay".
The fields in the online form are:
Pay date
Pay period
Gross pay
RPN number
Pay for Income tax
Income tax paid
Pay for USC
USC status
USC paid
Pay for employee PRSI
Pay for employer PRSI
PRSI exempt (No/Yes)
PRSI class
Number of insurable weeks
Employee PRSI paid
Employee PRSI paid
LPT paid
Now, given that the subsidy can't go into Gross Pay, where does the subsidy go, that we are meant to enter?
I've already phoned the helpline, and after 20 minutes holding, I spoke with an officer from Rialtas na hEireann.
I'm 100% sure he could not see the form as he kept on asking me what I was seeing. He apologised and said as far as he could tell, there was no field in the Online Form for non-taxable pay.
I phoned again and spoke with a different officer from Rialtas na hEireann, again they said there was no field for that in the online form.
Does anyone know where the non-taxable pay (i.e. the subsidy) should go?
