Sage 50 Payroll v30 - SDO

We are thrilled to announce the release of updated Sage 50 Payroll SDO Files, now featuring new National Insurance (NI) Categories for Freepost and Investment Zones. While there is no version change to Sage 50 Payroll (still v30.00.226), it's important to note that these new SDO files need to be added and registered in your projects to incorporate the latest NI Categories.

SDO Update

In this update, we have included the following NI Categories V, F, I, L, S, N, E, D, and K for Freepost and Investment Zones. Please be aware that Investment Zones and Freeports have '_Freeport' and '_Invest' suffixes respectively to avoid conflicts with older NI categories. However, they will appear as F, I, L, S, N, E, D, K in the employee record.

Legislation Update

After installing v30 and applying the new SDO files, it's necessary to update the legislation in the Sage 50 Payroll program. This update will implement the NI changes announced in the Spring Budget. You can accomplish this by following the steps provided here:
