How To Fix HRPAYDEATZ101 - Tax liability of increase not calculated due to one-time payment

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYDEATZ - PY-DE: Semiretirement Germany

• Message number: 101

• Message text: Tax liability of increase not calculated due to one-time payment

What causes this issue?

In rule <DS:HRDS.DSYSLO_ECDCYCL_DATPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA___1VVV>DATP</>, the
system checks whether supplements to semiretirement pay are taxable. The
supplements are only taxable if the sum total of supplement and
part-time net amount exceed the net amount that a full-time employee
would receive.
If non-recurring payments are made, tax liability must be determined by
comparing the "projected annual net amount" for full-time and part-time
(see employment tax guidelines 2002 R18 and the sample calculation in
the comments for R18). The "projected full-time annual amount" is not
calculated in the SAP system, however.
If the monthly net amounts for full time and part time were compared,
this would normally result in a too-high tax liability if non-recurring
payments are made. For this reason, if non-recurring payments were made,
the tax-liable portion of the supplement is not calculated
automatically. Instead, a warning message is output in the payroll log
if the monthly comparison approach determines tax liability for the
supplement.

System Response

No automatic calculation of tax liability for semiretirement
supplements.

How to fix this error?

Check whether a tax liability exists. If necessary, specify the
tax-liable amount manually (model wage type
<DS:HRDS.DSYSLO_ECDWTYP_MH15AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA01_1VVV>MH15</>).
