Company tax details apply to payees in Australia who are company contractors and have a tax type of Company. The tax details of such payees can be viewed and updated in the Payroll > Payee > Payee Maintenance > Payee Entry > Company Tax Details screenscreen.
The company tax details must be recorded on the payee record before the payee can be assigned to a pay group and therefore before the payee can be paid.
Once defined, a payee's company tax details can be modified if necessary so long as the payee is not currently included in an open pay batch.
However, once the payee has been paid (included in a closed pay batch) their company tax details, with the exception of the company address details, are locked down for the corresponding payee details validity period and cannot be modified for that period. If you need to modify a payee's company tax details after the payee has been paid in one or more pay batches, you must create a new payee details validity period.
