Payroll Tax course

Payroll tax is complex material that changes constantly. During this course you get to grips with the current rates, tables, allowances and schemes, so that you can complete the payroll tax return independently and without errors.

Description

As the person responsible for the payroll administration, you deal with varying situations every day: every employee has their own pay structure, and legislation and regulations change regularly. Which tables and rates apply now? How do you calculate taxable pay? And how do you make optimal use of credits, allowances and benefits in kind?

During this course you will get answers to all these questions. Day 1 focuses on the basics: what is payroll tax, how does it differ from payroll levies, and how do you calculate gross, net and taxable pay using the current tables. On day 2 you work with allowances, benefits in kind and schemes such as the work-related costs scheme, tax credits and remittance reductions.

The course is practically oriented. You work with realistic cases from your own field and receive tips you can apply immediately to set up payroll tax in your organisation more accurately and more cost-effectively.

Target audience

This course is intended for (financial) administrative staff, payroll administrators, HR staff, personnel administration staff and anyone within the organisation who is responsible for payroll tax and the payroll tax return to the Dutch Tax Authorities.

Teaching method

The course is classroom-based and practical. You work in a small group with an experienced trainer from the field. Theory alternates with exercises and case studies that reflect situations from your own work, so that you can apply what you have learned directly to your organisation's payroll administration.

Prior knowledge

No specific prior knowledge is required. A basic knowledge of payroll administration or HR is an advantage.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
