The Tax Credit Upload process enables you to upload the tax credits of eligible employees into the PAYE table from the data file provided by the Revenue Commission. It validates the data file through a series of audit and exception reports and specifies standard rate cut-off amounts for each employee.
You can run the Tax Credit Upload process in three modes:
Validate Only: Run the process in this mode to generate an audit report showing the impact of uploading the tax data in the Revenue Commission credit file. This file may contain data that is out of sequence with information already in the system, thus causing P45 data submitted previously on paper or by other means to be overwritten. The audit report enables you to compare PAYE data in the system with the information in the Revenue Commission file and identify errors or discrepancies before you upload the file.
Validate and Commit: Run the process in this mode to upload the tax credit data in the Revenue Commission file and save it to the database. This mode generates an exception report identifying records that are uploaded successfully as well as those that fail to upload.
Validate and Rollback: Run the process in this mode to upload the tax credit data into the database without saving it. When the process is complete, it restores the original data set, allowing validations and checks to occur directly in the database without overwriting information already in the system. At the end of the process, the system generates a report showing which assignments can be successfully uploaded.
