Review PAYE tax reports

Review PAYE output

1. 1Open Payroll Reports.
2. 2Choose the payroll run or period.
3. 3Open PAYE Tax Computation or PAYE Report by State.
4. 4Compare taxable pay, tax, employee count, and state grouping.
5. 5Download or record the output for month-end review.

Control WiseWage Filing visibility

The client profile has separate Tax Filing and Benefit Filing controls under WiseWage Filing.

1. 1In Super Admin, open Clients and edit the required client profile.
2. 2Open WiseWage Filing.
3. 3Set Tax Filing to Yes when the client should appear in the Tax Filing monitor and Tax Remitted Tracker.
4. 4Set Benefit Filing to Yes when the client should appear in the Benefit Filing monitor.
5. 5Benefit Filing then shows each component whose Track in Benefit Filing toggle is Yes. Open benefit types separately; periods for the same client and benefit type may be reviewed together.
6. 6For Pension, review the Pension ID and PFA Name columns, use the PFA pills to filter or Group by PFA, then select individual rows or Select all displayed.
7. 7Employees without both PFA Name and Pension ID cannot be selected or marked remitted. Complete those values under HR > Employees > Employee Details > Pensions, or update them with the employee import template.
8. 8Use Mark selected remitted to record one confirmation for the selected employee-period rows with payment date, reference, service fee, VAT, note, and optional PDF or image evidence. This records status only and does not make the external payment.
9. 9Set either control to No to stop actively tracking that filing workflow without deleting payroll or historical filing records.

Review several periods together

The Tax Filing monitor can combine paid payroll periods for one client into one review and export.

1. 1Company Admin users can open Tax Filing and Benefit Filing under Payroll, immediately after Payroll Reports, when each module is enabled under Company Profile > WiseWage Filing. The company view provides the same single-period, multi-period, remittance, undo, reference, fee, VAT, note, evidence, template, and export workflow, but only for the active company.
2. 2Benefit Filing appears in the company workspace only when Benefit Filing is enabled. Company Admin actions update the same remittance records and confirmations visible to Super Admin.
3. 3Select the first period for the client you want to review. Periods for other clients become unavailable until the selection is cleared.
4. 4Select any additional periods for the same client, then choose Open Selected Periods. When only one tax filing type is available, WiseWage opens it directly; the tax-type selector appears only when multiple filing types are available.
5. 5In the combined view, each employee appears once. Earnings and PAYE are summed across the selected periods, and # of periods shows how many selected payroll periods included that employee.
6. 6You can select employees in the combined view and mark PAYE or the chosen withholding tax as remitted. WiseWage preserves each month's amount and status instead of posting the combined amount into one month.
7. 7Use CSV Export for the combined schedule, or select one state to generate the combined state template.
8. 8Use the Tax Filing Monitor summary and its Combined Remitted and Combined Outstanding columns to compare total filing due across PAYE and every displayed statutory deduction with all recorded remittances. Opening a withholding-type filing still shows its own gross amount, amount due, remitted, outstanding, beneficiary/TIN readiness, and selected state.
9. 9Clear the selection in the monitor before choosing periods for another client.

Choose PAYE or a statutory deduction

Tax Filing lists PAYE and every salary deduction classified as Statutory for the selected client.

1. 1Choose Open for one period, or select several periods for the same client and choose Open Selected Periods.
2. 2Select PAYE or one of the configured statutory deduction names from the tax-type menu.
3. 3PAYE keeps its existing state-specific template workflow.
4. 4A configured withholding-type statutory deduction uses the standard WHT remittance structure for every selected state: TaxPayerID, TIN, beneficiary name, address, gross amount, and tax amount.
5. 5Benefit-related deductions such as pension, NHF, NSITF, and ITF are not part of the WHT template workflow.
6. 6Select PAYE or withholding-tax employees to mark them remitted, or undo a manual remittance. This works for one month or several selected months.
7. 7The confirmation modal lists every affected month, employee-period count, monthly amount, and overall total before submission. When confirming, optionally record one shared service fee, VAT on the service fee, payment reference, note, and PDF or image payment evidence.
8. 8WiseWage creates a separate remittance record for every employee and month and links all records to the shared payment confirmation. PAYE and each withholding filing type keep separate statuses for the same employee and period.

Review remittance confirmations and the Tax Remitted Tracker

Super Admin Reports provides controlled all-client Remittance Confirmations and Tax Remitted Tracker reports across PAYE and withholding-tax filing types.

1. 1Company Admin users can download Remittance Confirmations and Tax Remitted Tracker from Payroll Reports. These downloads contain only the active company's records and do not provide an all-client in-app report view.
2. 2If Tax Filing or Benefit Filing is disabled for the company, its company-workspace navigation item is hidden.
3. 3Sign in to the Super Admin workspace.
4. 4Open Reports, located immediately after Consultants in the navigation.
5. 5Review the confirmed-record count, total confirmed amount, represented clients, and latest confirmation date.
6. 6In the Reports catalogue, click View in app beside Remittance Confirmations to load the current all-client table without leaving WiseWage.
7. 7Search the in-app table by client, employee, period, filing type, reference, source, or confirming administrator, then close the view when review is complete.
8. 8For Tax Remitted Tracker, choose View in app to review every available obligation from paid payroll periods. PAYE and non-benefit withholding deductions remain visible as outstanding even when no employee remittance has yet been recorded; recorded payments, service fees, VAT, and evidence are merged onto those obligations.
9. 9The Records value beside Tax Remitted Tracker refreshes automatically from the same report data and counts its current company-period-tax-type rows, including outstanding obligations without stored remittance records.
10. 10The tracker follows each company's Tax Filing setting under Company Profile > WiseWage Filing. A company is included only while Tax Filing is enabled; setting it to No excludes its obligations, remittances, totals, and employees from active tracking.
11. 11Choose Download XLSX beside Tax Remitted Tracker to generate its four-sheet workbook: Tax Tracker, Summary, Lookups, and Employee Detail.
12. 12Employee Detail is an exception list. It includes only employees with a missing Tax ID, missing state of residence, or outstanding PAYE/non-benefit WHT. Pending Tax Items lists the employee's outstanding paid-payroll periods and tax types, while Pending Tax Amount totals the unpaid balance after recorded remittances.
13. 13Click Download XLSX beside Remittance Confirmations to generate its detailed employee-level spreadsheet.
14. 14Review client, filing type, employee, period, state, TIN, amounts, payment references, notes, fees, VAT, evidence, confirmation time, and confirming administrator as applicable to each report.
15. 15Treat this as a WiseWage status record only; it is not proof that WiseWage submitted a return or made a tax-authority payment.

Download state remittance templates

State templates include employees assigned to the selected state unless an employee has a positive filing amount and no TIN. PAYE uses its state-specific structure; withholding-type deductions use the standard WHT structure for every state.

1. 1Select one state before downloading its state template.
2. 2Employees with a TIN are included whether their filing amount is positive or zero.
3. 3Employees without a TIN are still included when their filing amount is zero; the taxpayer field remains blank.
4. 4Employees without a TIN and with a filing amount greater than zero are excluded and identified by the warning so their TIN can be added or their remittance handled separately.
5. 5Generate a new template after correcting a missing TIN so the employee can be included in the state submission.
6. 6When Lagos is selected, click Submit to LIRS to open the official LIRS e-Tax login page in a new tab. This opens the portal only; it does not automatically submit the template or change employee remittance statuses.
