During the tax year, Revenue may issue you with new or amended tax credits, USC and LPT details for your employees. This information is normally imported into Sage Payroll by Retrieve Revenue Payroll Notifications (RPNs).

If you're unable to import this information into Sage Payroll, you can amend your employees manually by following the steps in this guide. Let's do this now.

Enter tax credits, USC and LPT details manually

1. On the menu bar, click Processing, then click Employee Details.
2. Next to the Surname box, click browse    and select the relevant employee.
3. Click the Tax / PRSI / USC tab.
4. Click the Tax/USC Status arrow, then click the relevant option.
   

   NOTE: If you're unsure of what status to select, please contact Revenue directly.

5. In the Tax Credits Yearly box, enter the yearly amount.
6. In the Tax Rate 1 Cut-Off Point Yearly box, enter the yearly amount.
7. Under USC Details, click Override USC Details.
   

   NOTE: If you want to add or remove a USC percentage rate, such as the 8% rate, click either Add or Remove as required.

8.  

   Enter the yearly cut-off point values for each % rate.
9. To save the USC changes, click OK.
   NOTE: If the employee has previous employment information that's relevant to the current tax year, proceed to step 10. If they don't, skip to step 13.

    • Gross Pay Prev. Eer
