Maternity and Adoptive Benefit will be taxable for all claimants with effect from 1 July 2013. As with all Department of Social Protection benefits it is not subject to USC.
Health and Safety Benefit, payable to pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, is a form of Maternity Benefit and will also be subject to the same tax rules as Maternity Benefit.
Once Revenue finalise guidelines relating to the procedures to be adopted by employers to deduct and remit this tax to Revenue we will issue a payroll upgrade, this will be prior to effective date of 01st July 2013.
At Bright, we’ve been working hard to improve the customer experience and make it easier to renew your Payroll Manager licence each year.
With this goal in mind, we recently changed how software licences are purchased.
Going forward, you will need a Bright ID to purchase Payroll Manager.
If you are a Thesaurus Connect user, you already have a Bright ID – just use the same email address and password that you use for Connect.
Check out our video tutorial or help documentation which takes you through the ordering process step-by-step. If you have any difficulties, or have typically paid for your Payroll Manager licence by cheque or other means, please contact billing@brightsg.com.
