The West Virginia Head tax can be treated as ‘City Tax’ or ‘Head Tax’. The results are stored in Head Tax pay components. The ‘Head Tax’ calculation may be suppressed from either ‘City Tax Method’ or ‘Head Tax Method’. If IPRLU City Tax Method and Head Tax Method are not set up, the default Head Tax will be calculated.

City Tax MethodLexicon X_ULOC_CITY_TAX_METHOD

West Virginia City Tax means the Head Tax will be calculated
99 - Do Not Calculate- Employee may suppress the City Tax calculation

Head Tax MethodLexicon X_ULOC_HEAD_TAX_METHOD

99 - Do Not CalculateEmployee may suppress the Head Tax calculation

The West Virginia City Service Fee is a head tax which is levied upon employees at a flat rate per week. The weekly rate is prorated over the pay period. For example, Charleston has a $2.00 tax per week. For a bi-weekly pay period, the tax would be computed as $4.00.

IPPC, set up Pay Components for these PC Usages to store the Head Tax.

WV – ER SUTA#

ER SUTA may be bypassed on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’.

There are two options to set up the ER SUTA rate by state:

  1. IPUTR
    • Enter the SUTA ER rate that is given by the government on the Override Tax Rate field.
    • This rate is applicable for the entire company within the State of West Virginia.
  2. IDGV
    • If there is a specific rate given by the government for a different State Registration #, then enter the rate on IDGV by ‘Reg Type’; this overrides the IPUTR rate.
