The Tax Service has established tax codes for the federal and state payroll taxes we support, as well as thousands of payroll district office taxes. Your company may be responsible for a local payroll tax that does not have an existing tax code. When supplied with the appropriate information, the Tax Service can easily create a code when one does not currently exist.
Procedures to request the creation of a new local tax code
Complete the following steps to request a new local tax code.
1. Confirm with Ceridian's Customer Service Center (CSC) that the Signature payroll program supports this local tax.
Most local taxes supported through Signature payroll can be supported by the Tax Service. If the tax in question is supported through payroll, proceed with the following steps.
2. Contact your Tax Service Representative.
To add a new local tax code to your Tax Service Client Master File, provide your Tax Service Representative with the following information:
• Full name, county and state of the locality
• Type of tax (Earned Income Tax, Occupational Privilege Tax, or School District Tax)
• Deposit frequency
• Phone number and address to which the payments are to be sent
The Tax Service will notify you when the new code has been created and will add it to your Client Master File. As with the addition of any tax code, your agency assigned account number is required for us to process and deposit the tax liabilities according to agency requirements.
3. Add the tax jurisdiction to the payroll system.
Once the Tax Service has been notified and a new tax code has been added to your Client Master File, you can add the code and appropriate withholding rates, if applicable, to your payroll system.
Your Tax Service Representative will also provide you with the local jurisdiction's entity code for use with your Signature software. For information on setting up local codes in your payroll system, please call the Ceridian Customer Service Center (CSC) for assistance.
