  • Annualized taxable income can be forecasted through normal averaging, forward averaging, none averaging and South African directors averaging.
  • Caters for four classes of payroll transaction, namely, earnings, deductions, benefits and perks.

  • Designed for real time operation, all updates to employee transactions are recalculated on input and the net results updated in real time.
