Tax Withholding
Tax withholding is the deduction of tax from a payment before the recipient receives the net amount.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Tax withholding is the deduction of tax from a payment before the recipient receives the net amount. In payroll, the employer calculates and records the employee tax withheld under the applicable rules.
In Odoo
Odoo Payroll’s localized salary rules provide the closest calculation mechanism. Review the country-specific payroll localization and employee inputs; a general salary rule is not proof that all jurisdictions’ withholding and filing requirements are supported.
