Salary is the tax authority's official program for preparing the employee payroll-tax list file. If you calculate payroll in Akam Data payroll software, build the payroll-tax file straight from it; this guide is for when you use Salary or want to know how it works.
Prerequisites
- Install .NET Framework 4
- Set the system date correctly
- Run the program as Administrator
- Access to the tax system to download the software and upload the file
Steps, in order
- Sign in to the tax system (tax.gov.ir) and open “electronic payroll-tax list” (or use the online payroll-tax system).
- Download the latest Salary software from that page.
- Extract the archive, run the setup file and follow the installation to the end.
- Open the program with Run as administrator and sign in with the default user. Be sure to change the default password.
- Enter the employer details.
- Enter the employee details (create, edit, delete or transfer from the old system).
- Define the payroll list; choosing the month names the list automatically.
- Select the list's employees and save temporarily.
- Enter each employee's pay: tax details (payment type, workplace, months worked, start and end dates), regular and irregular pay, bonus and year-end benefits, leave and severance buy-out, then the tax after relief.
- Complete the list summary (journal registration date, payment method and amount, bank details), save and print it.
- In preview, review employee details and the summary.
- In build file choose TXT or XML and the save location.
- Open the file in check and view content; any error appears there and must be fixed.
- Upload the checked file in the tax system.
Common problems
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Database or connection error | Run the program as Administrator. |
| Wrong system date message | Correct the date in Control Panel. |
| File does not display | Look at the file errors section and fix the mismatches. |
The program's default economic code starts with 411; enter the company's national ID as the authority's official guide says. Issue the corrective list (general error) and the supplementary list (omitted people) separately, as in invoice types.
An easier way
In Akam Data payroll software salary, insurance and tax are calculated together and the payroll-tax file is built with one button; there is no need to re-enter employee data.
