The Payroll Update Plan

The Payroll Update Plan* (PUP) is crucial for customers who need assurance that their Sage ERP Accpac Payroll system is in compliance with state, county, provincial, or federal payroll tax changes. Our payroll tax updates help ensure that your business handles the critical tasks of processing payroll tax withholding and reporting quickly, accurately, and easily—for a fraction of the cost of manual payroll tax calculations or an outside payroll service. Payroll tax updates are available to PUP subscribers by download or on disk.

How to Purchase a Payroll Update Plan
Email or call us at 1-888-UNISOFT or 604-926-3398 to learn more and get your PUP subscription started.

*The Payroll Update Plan (PUP) is a service available to Sage ERP Accpac Payroll customers that provides downloadable tax table updates.

 There are no legislative changes required at this time for Canadian Payroll, so there will not be a Canadian payroll tax update for September 2011. The next planned Canadian payroll tax update is the January 1, 2012, update that is scheduled for release in late December. Look for more information in the December issue of this publication.

The July 1 Payroll Tax Updates are now available for both Canada and the US.  Please note that access to these tax updates is restricted to those who are current on The Payroll Update Plan (PUP).  The PUP is important for customers who need compliance with payroll tax changes.  Sage’s payroll updates help ensure that your business handles the critcal taks of procesing payroll tax withholding and reporting quickly, accurately, and easily-for a fraction of the cost of manual payroll taxt calculaltions.

Earlier this year, Sage notified all Payroll Update Plan (PUP) subscribers that after the 2010 tax year, Sage ERP Accpac Version 5.4 will no longer be supported. This change is particularly important because it means no additional tax updates will be made available after the 2010 tax year.  Your customers will need to ensure that their PUP subscription is current in order to continue receiving compatible updates and upgrade to Version 5.5 or higher.

The last Sage ERP Accpac 5.4 Payroll Tax Update for Canadian Payroll and US Payroll will be January 1 st, 2011.  Based on recent customer feedback, this particular update will be a full update that includes updated forms as well as tax table changes provided for 2010 tax filing.  Due to “last minute” updates issued from certain US tax authorities towards the end of the 2010 calendar year, there is a possibility for a January 31 st, 2011 Tax Update or hot fix for the 5.4 US Payroll Tax Update only.

There will NOT be a 5.4 Payroll Tax Table Update for March 2011, July 2011, September 2011, December 2011 or going forward.
