TAX CODE — SLCIR

What is Tax Code SLCIR?

 

If you have employees with a student loan then you most possibly have come across a letter from Inland Revenue about student loan repayment rate.

 

Follow these instructions to process the change in Your Payroll.

 

Letter sample:

IRD's Student Loan Notice Letter

 

⇨  The Compulsory Extra Deduction Rate given on the notice (41.67% in the above example) is relative to the standard student loan repayment rate, not relative to the employee's full wage.

 

How To Calculate The Rate For Your Payroll

To calculate the rate to be entered into Your Payroll, multiply the compulsory extra deduction rate as provided on the IRD letter by the standard student loan repayment rate.

 

If the standard student loan repayment rate from 1st April 2013 is 12%, so the calculation is as follows:

 

If the Compulsory extra deduction rate on the letter is 41.67%, multiply this by 12%, i.e,

41.67% ╳ 12% = 5

 

How To Enter The Rate On Your Payroll

 

1.  In Your Payroll, login and go to your Dashboard
