  1. Go to Payroll > Pay Runs.
  2. Select the relevant pay run.

  1. Review Auto-Calculated Tax and Super
  • Myaccountant automatically calculates tax withholding and superannuation based on pay items, employee details, and configured settings.
  • You’ll see the calculated amounts displayedunder the pay summary.
  1. Override Tax and Super Amounts
  1. Click the Edit Tax and Super button located at the bottom of the employee’s pay screen.

  • Only use overrides when you’re confident the adjustment is correct.
