Income Tax Class for Employees

Feature

Starting with Goldenseal 3.6, you can assign each employee account to a different Income Tax Class.

That might be useful for the Income Taxes report, if for some reason you put different types of wages into different categories. However it's more useful in the Profit & Loss Statement report, if you are using Income Tax Classes as a way to break down expenses.

Technical Details

In Goldenseal 3.5 and earlier, all payroll expenses go into a single, fixed category in the Income Taxes report, and the Profit & Loss Statement when it uses the Income Tax Class.

In Goldenseal 3.6 and later, it will still use the fixed category if the Income Tax Class field is blank. But if you enter a different category in an Employee account, their payroll costs will go into that category instead.
