SmoothPay automatically determines which tax reporting year entries belong to based on the pay date
All tax rules are implemented automatically as required by each country's regulations
SmoothPay uses the pay day as the tax period for any payment, which applies to monthly tax and superannuation reporting as well as annual reporting
All data for all years is kept in the same database for instant access whenever needed, allowing you to reproduce or reprint any report or certificate at any time
