How does a Cyprus pay run work in Deline?

Where is it?

In Accounting → Payroll, under Cyprus payroll. Choose a person (or Add employee). Each person has three tabs: Monthly pay, Pay and documents and Past months.

What do I set up first?

In Pay and documents you save the person's documents (the employment contract, the TD59 form and the Holiday Fund exemption certificate), the five Payroll accounts where the pay goes in your books, the payments of the year (Regular pay, Thirteenth salary, Bonus and others) and any Tax reliefs. Tick "I checked this person's pay and documents." and press Save employee.

The payroll covers "People with one employer and no other income, paid in EUR." Other cases are held for your accountant.

What happens in a pay run?

• In Monthly pay, press New pay run, choose the Payroll month and press Review payroll.
• You see the Employee's payslip (Gross pay, Social insurance (employee), GESY health (employee), Income tax (PAYE), Net pay) and What you pay on top (employer social insurance, GESY, Redundancy fund, Training fund (HRDF), Social cohesion fund), with the Total cost of this pay.
• Press Create journal draft. Deline says "Journal draft created. It has not been posted." Nothing is posted until it is approved in Journals, or with Post payroll if you may approve and post journals.

Income tax is worked out for the whole year: if the person is paid in other months, add those payments in Pay and documents so each month's tax is right.

What does Deline not do?

• It does not file the monthly PAYE return or social insurance. You or your accountant do that on the Tax For All (TFA) portal and with the Social Insurance Services. The Payroll calendar shows the dates: "Monthly deadlines for income tax and social insurance. Nothing is filed or paid from here."
• It does not pay salaries.
• The TD63 is shown under Past months (TD63 for the year) for you to give to the employee. "It is not filed with the Tax Department."
