Attachment of Earnings Order – Council Tax Wales

Effective from the 2022/2023 tax year, there is a new Council Tax Attachment of Earnings Order (AEO) for Wales. The thresholds are higher than the existing Council Tax Attachment of Earnings Orders and apply to Wales only. The Welsh Government introduced this to maintain fairness in the system and reflect changes to the cost of living.

On the Employee > Attachment Orders > + Add AEO > Type dropdown, we have added Council Tax AEO Wales Payment of unpaid council tax in Wales.
