The design of how to set up Tax Area Information and Employee Master Tax Overrides changed at some point between the time the Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Tax in the Portland, OR metro area was initially rolled out and the creation of this document (Doc ID 2947974.1). The current design requires that Resident Tax Area be used when adding F3 entries to Tax Area Information, and it also requires that a Tax Override entry be added to the Employee Master if you want the tax to be withheld.

Requesting Oracle reconsider the following, concerning the design of this process:
- Using the Resident Tax Area does not make sense in order for this to calculate. The tax is only applicable when the employee is working in tax area 380510460. We have employees working in Washington state and California. Why should we create a Tax Override for a geocode other than 380510460 if they are taxed only when they are physically working in this tax area?
- The current design requires that we enter a Tax Override for anyone who wants this tax to be calculated. We don't do this for any other tax. The default should be that the tax calculates when the conditions are met unless the employee has asked to have something different be calculated (e.g., flat amount, $0). With the current design we have to look at each person's salary and if they make more than $200K, our HRIC Specialist has to add an entry in Tax Overrides. This seems like an unnecessary step.
