Corporate

Open Corporate from the rail to reach the corporation's own records, beyond the day-to-day books. Filings and remittances also has its own row in the rail, just under Corporate.

The corporate sections

• Payroll — pay runs by pay date, with each employee's deductions.
• Employees — who is on payroll, with SIN, legal name and address masked until revealed.
• Filings and remittances — returns and remittances by due date, to mark filed or paid.
• Health spending account — claims and administrator statements.
• Mileage log — business trips kept for reimbursement.
• Shareholder loan — money moving between the company and its owner.
• Corporate records — the minute-book checklist, the share register and the cap table.
• Memos — decisions written down, linked to the records they concern.
• Period close — see Closing a period.
• Archive — see Archive.

Each section keeps its own figures and its own disclaimers where a figure is computed; the hub itself only names the sections.

Filings and remittances

Open Filings and remittances from the rail, or choose an Overdue — remittance or Overdue — filings line on the dashboard. The screen lists what the company has to file or pay, by due date, with a calendar of due dates at the top.

• Show narrows the list: All, Late, Due this month, Upcoming, Not applicable or Settled, each with a count.
• Remittances shows each payment's due date, period and Amount. The amount is the one the books show: the net tax on the sales-tax return, or the remittance totals of the payroll runs for that period. A dash means nothing in the books gives an amount yet.
• Filings shows each return with its status, such as To prepare, Filed or Not filed, past due.

To record that you paid a remittance, choose Mark paid on its row, enter the Paid on date and choose Mark paid. To record a return you filed, choose Mark filed, enter the Filed on date and the form, and choose Mark filed. Langbyrde only keeps track; it does not file or pay anything for you.

Due dates and amounts come from the jurisdiction pack and the company's books; see What the disclaimers mean and Payroll and remittances.

Payroll

Open Corporate, then Payroll, or choose New in the top bar and then Payroll run.

1. Choose Record a run.
2. Enter the Pay date, the pay period and the Payroll provider.
3. For each employee, choose the Employee and enter the Gross pay, Net pay and each deduction. Add a deduction and Add another employee add rows.
4. Choose Save as draft.

Payroll runs are recorded from your payroll provider's register; Langbyrde does not run payroll. The figures carry the payroll disclaimer; see What the disclaimers mean.

Shareholder loan

Open Corporate, then Shareholder loan, or choose Open shareholder loan on the dashboard. The screen shows the balance, any repayment-window reminder and every entry with a running balance.

1. Choose Record entry.
2. Choose the Direction: Owner to company or Company to owner.
3. Enter the Amount, the Date and any Notes.
4. Choose Record entry.

An expense paid out of your own pocket can also be settled through the shareholder loan. The balance and reminder are bookkeeping figures, not advice; see What the disclaimers mean.
