Monthly tax and contribution reports
Every period you owe two things to the authorities: what you withheld in tax, and what you and your employees contributed. These reports produce those figures from the payslips, so the filing matches what was actually paid.
Where: Payroll › Reports › Contributions, and Reports › Taxes You need: payroll rights for the batch cycles being reported
Before You Start
Finish the runs first. A report is only as final as the payslips behind it. Filing from a run that is still being corrected means filing twice.
Use a settled payslip status. Report on Paid or Closed & Paid. Pending figures are drafts and will move — see Payroll reports.
Know your deadlines. KAMI produces the figures; it does not know when your filing is due.
What each report gives you
| Report | Contains |
|---|---|
| Contributions | Employee and employer contributions, per contribution type |
| Taxes | Tax withheld across the period |
Employee and employer portions are tracked separately, because they are remitted and reported differently.
How to produce the monthly filing figures
- Confirm every payroll run for the period is closed and paid.
- Open Payroll › Reports and choose Contributions or Taxes.
- Select the period and the batch cycles — all of them, if you run more than one.
- Set the payslip status to Paid or Closed & Paid.
- Generate and export.
- Reconcile before filing — see below.
Reconcile before you file
Three checks, and they take minutes:
- Report total against the payroll run totals for the same period. A gap means a batch is missing from the selection or a payslip is in an excluded status.
- Contribution totals against the authority's own schedule for a sample of employees at different brackets. This catches a stale rate or a rounding mismatch.
- Headcount against the number of employees you expect to be remitting for. A missing employee is easier to see as a count than as an amount.
⚠️ If you run more than one batch cycle — weekly and monthly, or by entity — make sure the report covers all of them. Filing from one cycle when you operate two is a straightforward under-remittance.
What Happens Next
- The exported figures are what you file. KAMI does not submit on your behalf.
- Corrections made to payslips after you file will not match what you filed; keep the export as the record of what was reported.
- The same underlying figures feed the year-end reporting, so an error here reappears in December.
Tips
- Export and keep every filing. "What did we report in March" is a question that gets asked a year later.
- Reconcile the same three ways every month. A consistent check catches drift; an ad-hoc one catches nothing.
- Watch the month a rate changes. The period spanning a statutory rate change is the one most likely to be wrong, and the one an auditor will look at.
- Check leavers are included. A final payslip in the period carries contributions and tax like any other.
- Do not adjust the report to match an expectation. If the figures look wrong, find out why — the payslips are the source of truth, and if they are wrong the filing is not the place to fix it.
Troubleshooting / FAQ
Q: The report total does not match our payroll run. Check the batch selection and the payslip status filter first — that accounts for nearly all differences.
Q: An employee is missing. Their payslip is in a status the filter excludes, or their batch cycle was not selected.
Q: Contributions do not match the authority's table. Check the rate, the wage cap and the rounding on the contribution type — see Contribution types.
Q: We already filed and then corrected a payslip. The report will no longer match your filing. Keep the original export and handle the difference through the authority's amendment process.
