• Key Concepts: 
  Tax class is a feature of the SAP Payroll component (PY-US USA) that allows you to assign a tax rate to an employee’s wages. This rate is used to calculate the amount of taxes that must be withheld from the employee’s paycheck. The tax class is determined by the employee’s filing status, such as single, married, or head of household. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To assign a tax class to an employee, you must first enter their filing status in the payroll system. Once this is done, you can select the appropriate tax class from a list of available options. The system will then automatically calculate the correct amount of taxes to be withheld from the employee’s paycheck. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the correct tax class is assigned to each employee in order to ensure accurate withholding of taxes. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in an employee’s filing status, as this may require a change in their tax class.
