Unfortunately, setting their claim tax-free threshold option to 'No' still doesn't accurately reflect their current situation. After reaching out to a few others, it seems this scenario may be difficult to model. Some have suggested creating a bank account with a 0% interest rate (to track the additional tax withheld), directing this portion of their income (the additional tax withheld) to this bank account, and then transferring these funds back as a 'tax refund' (via capital receipt) each year. However, this approach also fails to accurately reflect their after-tax employment income in their cash flow.
Ultimately, we could still illustrate the tax savings and the other benefits of our advice in their SOA.
Thanks again for reaching out.
Cheers Nate

Iress ContributorHi nathan.greenaway ,
Thanks for your reply. Was I correct that your client's PAYG tax is being withheld at a set percentage? What is the percentage used in this instance? I'm asking in case this is something we can build.

Hi lana.graham ,
I wasn't able to confirm this, but having the option to set their tax withholding at a fixed percentage would have been useful in this situation.
