Targeted Postings before Tax Update 22-C:

(Canada) 33778968 – CAN: REFLECT NET CLAIM AMOUNT ON PAYCHEQUES USED IN TAX CALCULATION will be targeted to post by March 31, 2022 to My Oracle Support for Release 9.2 only.   Canada Revenue Agency allows a calculated variable amount for the 2022 Federal Basic Personal Amount (BPAF), also known as the Net Claim Amount.  The Canada Revenue Agency also states that employees may claim $14,398 as their Basic Claim Amount on their 2022 TD1 Personal Tax Credit Return. When reviewing their paycheques, employees are confused by the display of the default net claim amount of $12,719.00.

Using the BPAF of $12,719.00 takes into account the employee’s net income to determine the appropriate BPAF resulting in the correct calculation of taxes, but $14,398 does not.  Employees with BPAF declared as $14,398.00 who have net income greater than $155,635 may have an amount owed on their income tax and benefit return at the end of the tax year.  The patch will deliver changes to reflect the calculated net claim amount if different than the TD1 amount.

(U.S.) 33915815 – W4 PDF: UPDATE CALIFORNIA FORM DE 4 EFFECTIVE 01 JANUARY 2022 will be targeted to post by April 22, 2022 to My Oracle Support for Release 9.2.  The changes will be included in HCM 9.2 Image 43.  California’s state withholding certificate was updated for Worksheet C.

Anne’s Thoughts
PeopleSoft PUM Automated Updates (PAU)

Did you know that Release 9.2 PeopleSoft Update Images released on PeopleTools 8.59 can automate the downloading of PeopleSoft Release Patchset (PRP)?

Dave Bain, Senior Director PeopleTools Strategist, explains in his blog, “Learn how you can automate your PeopleSoft updates with PUM Automated Updates (PAU).”

This PeopleTools feature becomes very handy when PeopleSoft Payroll for North America tries to release the latest legislative updates as quickly as possible to our customers before the next Tax Update.
