Post subject: | Is USC being calculated incorrectly? |
First, here is an example of how USC is calculated Cut off Point Vs Bands: When entering USC rates in Payback, please use Cut Off Points and not Bands. For Example, these are Cut off Points (USE THESE): 2% €10036 4% €16016 7% Balance. These are Bands (DO NOT USE THESE): 2% €10036 4% €5980 (16016-10036) 7% Balance Always use Cut off points, and not Bands when entering USC rates into Payback. Example 1 An employee has these cut off points set up in Payback Code: % Weekly Monthly Annual 2 193 837 10036 4 308 1335 16016 They are Cumulative USC paid monthly. Their USCable Pay per month is €5000 For August: Cumulate gross pay = €40000 (8 months at €5000/month) 2% cut off point = 8x837 = 6696 4% cut off point = 8x1335 = 10680 7% balance USC @ 2% = 6696*0.02 = 133.92 USC @ 4% = (10680-6696) * 0.04 = 3984 * 0.04 = 159.36 USC @ 7% = (40000 - 10680) * 0.07 =29320 * 0.07 = 2052.40 Total USC = 133.92 + 159.36 + 2052.40 Total USC = 2345.68 The employee has already paid €2052.47 (for months Jan to Jul) Total USC for August = 2345.68 - 2052.47 = 293.21 Reasons why your USC may be incorrect. 1. Mixing up Cut off points and bands Revenue have introduced confusion by their use of terminology. P2C files and paper certificates use Cut Off Points. Revenue helpdesk and other internal systems use Bands. 2. Rounding cut off points You may have entered: 2% = 837 instead of using: 2% = 836.34 3. Using an old version of Payback where there was a problem with Monthly paid employees who were on a Month One basis. Please make sure you are using version 2012.05 or greater. Payback warns the user when there is an update ready. You should update immediately if the warning message appears. |
