Understanding which pay items in Talenox fall under the corresponding sections in the IR56B form is important for all users, especially during the tax season. 😁

Pay items keyed into and processed in Step 2 - Select Pay Items of Payroll will be mapped to Section 11 in IR56B forms during generation.


IR56B Section 11 Fields

Section 11 includes the following fields:

  • 11 (a) - Salary/Wages

  • 11 (b) - Leave Pay

After you're done checking through your pay items, the next step would be to submit the IR56B forms to Inland Revenue Department (IRD).

Luckily, Talenox allows you to submit IR56B to IRD using our e-data filing format which you can generate from the system.

Tax season just got a lot more convenient! πŸ˜„
