The Employer Superannuation Contribution Tax (ESCT) is calculated based on the ESCT Salary Threshold entered in the Employee File, Superannuation Details, Employee Superannuation Details Fund.
In Payday Filling, Employment Information file, the calculated ESCT values are displayed.
If there is more than one Payday Employment Information file displaying in Payday Filing for the same Pay Frequency and Employee, the ESCT values will add together and apply to each consecutive file.
When Payday Filing has been exported to the IRD, the data is written to the Reconciliation Report. If there were more than one Payday File for the same Pay Frequency and Employee being exported, the Reconciliation Report will display incorrect Kiwi Saver Employer Contributions.
