Extra Pays (or extra emoluments) are lump sum payments made to an employee and include bonuses, commissions, backpay, retiring or redundancy payments.
The IRD specifies a very complicated formula for the taxing of these lump sum payments. Ace Payroll automates the tax calculation according to this formula.
