Employment Tax Incentive and Youth Wage Subsidy Administration

The employment tax incentive reduces the cost of hiring young and low wage workers by lowering the tax a company pays over. Claims are frequently understated or made in error. This programme shows payroll and tax teams how to identify qualifying employees and claim accurately.

What you will be able to do

  • Identify employees who qualify for the incentive
  • Calculate the monthly incentive amount per employee
  • Set off the incentive against the payroll tax liability
  • Handle carry forward and reimbursement of excess amounts
  • Keep the records needed to support a claim on audit
