issued manually, you can change the year manually in the system. The
year that appears is the last year of the fiscal year. The system
updates <LS>Group certificate issued</> field in the <LS>Tax Australia

If the last group certificate was issued for the employee in fiscal
1998/99, then the <LS>Group certificate issued</> field reads the year
1999.
