Description Exam

Every company that employs staff submits a payroll tax return and pays payroll taxes. Think, for example, of wage tax, employee insurance premiums and income-related contribution to the Health Insurance Act. Do you want to specialize in the payroll administration of a (medium) large organization? With the Payroll Taxes level 4 certificate in your pocket, you have all the knowledge you need to be able to carry out this important part of payroll administration.

Growing further?

Together with the Employment Law & Social Security level 4 and Personnel, Organization & Communication level 4 certificates, this certificate provides you with the Practical Diploma in Payroll Administration (PDL®). This allows you to independently carry out payroll administration.
