How to add Pre-92 Community Charge?

A Pre-92 Community Charge attachment is an order that requires you to deduct unpaid community charge (poll tax) amounts from an employee’s pay under the pre-1992 rules.

To add Pre-92 Community Charge for an employee:

  1. Go to Employees and open the employee, or stay on the Salary step while adding an employee.
  2. Under Deductions, click + Add New, or click Deductions on the Salary step.
  3. Select Attachment of Earnings Orders / Arrestments as the deduction type.
  4. Select Pre-92 Community Charge as the attachment.
  5. Enter the order details, such as the Order Number, Issued on date, Amount (fixed amount or percentage where shown), Protected Earnings if applicable, whether to deduct the admin charge, and when the order ends.
  6. Click Save.

Protected earnings is the amount of pay the employee must be left with after the deduction. If the deduction is reduced to the protected earnings rate, any shortfall can carry forward to the next pay period. For a worked example, refer to protected earnings in Add Employees.
