Create and manage payments

Payroll supports many different payment types. These are split into categories. When you create a new payment, you base it on one of these payment types. This determines whether it's subject to PAYE, PRSI, and USC.

NOTE:

ERR and Share payments are only available for tax year 2024 onwards.
