Revenue Jersey’s New ITIS Effective Rate Wizard

Revenue Jersey’s New ITIS Effective Rate Wizard

What Jersey Employers Need to Know

Revenue Jersey’s new ITIS Effective Rate Wizard is now available in Ocerli, enabling Jersey employers to retrieve the latest employee ITIS effective rates and contribution liability status before processing payroll.

We’ve been working closely with Revenue Jersey ahead of the launch to trial the new feature within Ocerli, helping ensure our clients could begin using the Wizard from day one as part of their existing payroll process.

The ITIS Effective Rate Wizard is fully integrated into Ocerli, making it quick and easy to retrieve the latest employee information before processing payroll or submitting your Combined Employer Return (CER).

What is the ITIS Effective Rate Wizard?

The ITIS Effective Rate Wizard is a new tool introduced by Revenue Jersey to help employers retrieve the latest employee payroll information before processing payroll.

The Wizard enables employers to:

  • Retrieve the latest ITIS Effective Rates
  • Review Contribution Liability Status
  • Identify employee updates since the previous Combined Employer Return (CER)

This helps employers work with the latest employee information before each pay run so that employee tax deductions and Social Security contributions can be based on the most up to date information available.

How do I use the ITIS Effective Rate Wizard in Ocerli?

The Wizard is built directly into Ocerli so there’s no additional software to install or configure.

Getting started:

  • Log in to your dashboard to access the help lounge and find step-by-step instructions in our selection of user guides.

When should you use the ITIS Effective Rate Wizard?

Revenue Jersey recommends running the ITIS Effective Rate Wizard:

  • Before processing payroll
  • Before submitting your Combined Employer Return (CER)

Running the Wizard before each payroll helps ensure you are working with the latest employee information available, including the latest ITIS effective rates and contribution liability status used for employee tax deductions and Social Security contributions.

What does this change mean for Jersey employers?

The introduction of the Wizard marks an important change in the way Jersey employers prepare payroll.

Instead of relying on employees to provide updated paper ITIS effective rate notifications, employers can now retrieve the latest employee information directly from Revenue Jersey before each pay run.

Employers can also review changes to an employee’s contribution liability status before payroll is processed, helping ensure Social Security contributions are based on the latest information held by Revenue Jersey.

This helps payroll teams:

  • Save time
  • Reduce manual administration
  • Reduce payroll corrections
  • Access the latest employee information before payroll is processed
  • Improve payroll efficiency
  • Reduce the risk of using outdated employee information

Payroll software that evolves with your business.

Payroll requirements continue to evolve, and your payroll software should evolve with them.

Supporting the Revenue Jersey ITIS Effective Rate Wizard is just one example of how Ocerli continues to adapt to changing payroll requirements, helping employers stay up to date without changing the way they work.

Ocerli is designed to simplify payroll through:

  • Cloud-based payroll software
  • Built-in payroll compliance
  • Automation that reduces manual administration
  • Regular product enhancements
  • Local support from an experienced payroll team

Whether it’s supporting new Revenue Jersey services or introducing new product enhancements, Ocerli helps employers spend less time managing payroll and more time focusing on their business.
