How to easily determine uplift

Uplift is able to be used to determine the amount of tax due at each provisional tax date.

Depending on when you file, the calculation of uplift can be 105% of your taxpayers prior year or 110% of two years ago.

Determining the best application of uplift for your taxpayers and their cashflow can be tricky but our Uplift Scenarios tool provides a great overview as to the impact of uplift on their provisional tax payments and offers an option for you to present to your taxpayers to prepare them for upcoming payments.

Through your Manage Tax menu select the Uplift Scenarios tool or access this via the QUICKStart menu – Estimate a Future Tax Year scenario.

Following the introduction of the new uplift requirements from the 2018 tax year onward, the timing of filing a taxpayers prior year tax retum can have a significant impact on the profile of the current 
year tax payments. The Uplift Scenarios calculated below will show the relative impact of filing time-frames on the uplift requirements.

This calculator is not intended to provide advice on when the tax retum should be filed as there may be situations that arise where the letter of the law gives a 
result that is inconsistent with other parts of the Tax Acts. We recommend that advisors exercise their own judgement in considering what is the best course of 
action for your client with respect to provisional tax payments, especially payments made retrospectively.

Select the tax year to be estimated, the terminal tax date for your taxpayer and enter the estimated RIT, as well as the RIT for the two prior years. When you hit calculate a scenario analysis will be provided based on filing prior to P1, between P1 and P2, and filing after P2
