  • Preservation age

    The withholding amount varies depending on whether the employee has reached their preservation age by the end of the income year in which the payment is made.

    Preservation age is determined using your employee’s date of birth. For example, if your employee was born on 1 October 1962, they reached their preservation age of 58 on 1 October 2020. The table below will help with this:
