In this step, you check, and if necessary, modify the redundancy constants set up in the system. The following constants are set up for redundancy packaging:

  • MINSV Minimum severance payment
  • LSMD1 Base tax-free amount for lump-sum D
  • LSMD2 Additional amount per year for lump-sum D
  • LUNTX Post '83 untaxed threshold
  • ETPAM ETP Threshold for RBL form, Pre-payment form generation

The MINSV amount is the minimum amount of severance pay that the company gives. For example, if the amount is set to $2,000 and a severance payment of $1,500 is calculated for an employee, then the employee receives the minimum amount of $2,000.

The LSMD1 is the base tax-free threshold amount used in lump-sum D calculations. This amount is set by the taxation office and may change each year. The amount is used in conjunction with the LSMD2 amount, which is the additional amount added to the tax-free threshold for lump-sum D for each year of service. This amount is also set by the taxation office and may change each year.

Both amounts are used to determine how much of the redundancy payout can form lump-sum D and therefore be tax-free. The amount in LSMD2 is multiplied by the number of years of service and then added to the amount in LSMD1 to give the tax-free threshold amount.

The LUNTX amount is the threshold amount for the post 30/6/83 untaxed portion of lump sum C (ETP) payments for employee's aged 55 and over. Amounts below the threshold are taxed at a lower rate (for example, 16.5%) and amounts above the threshold are taxed at a higher rate (for example, 31.5%). The threshold amount and the tax rates are set by the taxation office and may change each year.

The ETPAM amount is the minimum threshold amount, above which there is need to generate the RBL form and ETP Pre payment form. For the total ETP amount less than this threshold, these two forms need not be generated.

Example

Requirements

In the standard system, every effort is made to guarantee the legal compliance of all values. However, as the laws affecting taxation change, you must verify and ensure compliance by checking, and if necessary changing, the values accordingly.

Recommendation

Activities

  1. Check whether the existing constants meet your requirements.
  2. If required, enter new constants, and the relevant validity dates and values.
