AccountRight Plus and Premier, Australia only

From AccountRight 2020.2 onwards, there's no need to close the payroll year so we've removed that option from the File menu.

Stay compliant by using the latest AccountRight version, and see how we've simplifed your end of payroll year.

titleI'm using Older versions - closing the payroll year in AccountRight 2020.1 or earlier and need to close the payroll year

Closing the payroll year will:

  • clear the payroll history from employee cards
  • prevent you from preparing payment summaries for the previous year using the Payment Summary Assistant
  • carry over entitlement balances that have the Carry Remaining Leave Over to Next Year preference set in the Entitlement Information window of the entitlement category
  • clear any entitlement balances that don't have the Carry Remaining Leave Over to Next Year preference set in the Entitlement Information window of the entitlement category
  • prevent you from editing or deleting pay amounts for the previous year.

    Once the year is closed, detailed payroll information will no longer be available for editing. You should make a back up now, so that if you need to reprint reports or payment summaries you can restore the backup and complete those tasks.

  5. When you're ready to close the year, click Close the Payroll Year. The Conclusion window shows the details of the new year.
  6. When you're done, continue with Updating the PAYG tax tables.
