Deline

Run a Cyprus pay run

In Accounting → Payroll, press Add employee, save the person's documents, the payments of the year and the tax reliefs with Save employee, then open Monthly pay, choose the month and press Review payroll. Check the payslip and what you pay on top and press Create journal draft. Deline works out pay, social insurance, GESY and income tax (PAYE) and prepares a journal draft. It pays no one and files nothing: you or your accountant file PAYE on the Tax For All (TFA) portal and social insurance with the Social Insurance Services (SIS), outside Deline.
