The MUS Tax Rule is used to apply Mauritius taxes to employee pay. The rule triggers the application to calculate the amount of taxes deducted from gross pay. This rule is the Mauritius equivalent of the Apply Taxes Rule that's used for Canadian and US employees.
Important: Every ruleset for Mauritius employees must have an instance of the MUS Taxes Rule added for Dayforce to calculate and apply taxes.
For Mauritius employees, Dayforce applies tax to earnings based on the following factors:
- The configuration of the earning in Payroll Setup > Earnings and Definitions.
- The federal tax info record in the Federal Tax Info section of the Payroll > Tax Definitions screen in the employee's profile in People.
Employee address and work location address don’t impact tax rules.
MUS Taxes Rule Parameters
Although parameters are displayed in MUS Taxes Rule, they aren't used by the application. To configure Dayforce to deduct taxes from employee earnings, you need to add the MUS Taxes Rule to each ruleset, but you don’t have to define values for any of the parameters.
