In Modify Employee Tax Slip Data, you can review and adjust your employee’s 2022 information before it populates their tax slips.
Tax Slip Data will initially be populated when you extract or import employee tax slip data. For more information, go to Extract Employee Tax Slip Data and Importing Your Employee Tax Slip Information.
Before updating your employee’s tax slips, please ensure that you’ve finished extracting the tax slip data. If you extract after making changes to the employee’s tax slip data, your changes will be lost, and you’ll need to make the updates again.
Additional Information
The changes made here do not log to the employee’s change log on the Employee Profile, only the tax slip change log. We recommend printing or saving the tax slip change log for future reference.
