Alternatively, access the Import function from the side menu.







2. SELECT COMPANIES FOR IMPORT

• By default, all Companies are flagged for import.
  

• All the Companies can be imported at once or by specific selection, simply deselect a Company which you do not wish to import into 2018 or which you will import at a later stage.
• Select 'Un-Select All' to clear the flag from all Companies.

3. IMPORT OF TAX CREDITS FROM COLLSOFT 2017

Once the Import option is selected you must confirm if you wish to import the 2017 Tax Credits and Cut Off Points from 2017 for each employee.

If you have not received a 2018 tax credit certificate for an Employee, then the Revenue instruction is to continue using their 2017 USC COPs but to apply the 2018 USC rates (i.e. 0.5%, 2%, 4.75%, 8%). If you have imported employees from CollSoft Payroll 2017 along with their 2017 tax details, then CollSoft Payroll 2018 will automatically apply this rule.

Yes - each employee will import with their 2017 Revenue Record which is their PAYE Tax Credits and SRCOP AND USC COP into 2018.
No - each employee will import and their Revenue Record for 2018, PAYE Tax Credit and SRCOP AND USC COP will be set to zero.




Once the tax credit import is decided (Yes/No), 2018 will Import each selected company.
