Employer contributions are not normally subject to PAYG Tax at the time of processing. In cases where the employer contribution is subject to PAYG Tax, the amount is added to the employee's gross pay before QuickBooks does the calculation. Thus the employee pays tax on the employer contribution at the time of payment.
