Surcharge Rate Table - A summary of the activity

Surcharge is the additional tax levied on the gross taxable income of the employee.

Specifying a Surcharge Rate Table: Through this activity, you can specify a surcharge rate table based on which employee’s tax is computed. This tax is computed on the gross taxable income of the employee. Specifying a rate table requires entering the following items of information.

• The tax year: You must specify a tax year for which the surcharge rate table is applicable. You can also specify an earlier tax year and make it applicable to the current tax year if the tax rates are the same.

• Separate tax for each range of income: You are to record the different ranges of income, and specify the percentage/amount to be levied for each income range. The income tax authorities issue this information.
