President Signs Further Consolidated Appropriations Act 2020: ACA Tax Changes You Need to Know
President Trump signed important legislation in December 2019 that will impact many employers. H.R. 1865, or the “Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020”, brings changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While the ACA hasn’t been repealed altogether, the president has repealed three key taxes imposed by the ACA. These, and several other notable changes for retirement, health, and welfare provisions, may affect how your business manages ACA and other critical benefit programs.
Are you ready for these changes? Here’s what you need to know.
ACA Taxes and Other Healthcare Legislative Changes for 2020
The “Act” contains numerous changes to the ACA as well as other retirement, health and welfare programs. While all the legislative changes in H.R. 1865 are notable, the ACA changes are of great importance.
Three ACA taxes have been repealed including the Cadillac Tax, Medical Device Tax, and an Insurance Provider Fee. Each of these taxes have been controversial in the past and have caused disruption in several business sectors.
Below is a brief description of three taxes imposed under the ACA that would be repealed under H.R. 1865:
- Cadillac Tax: This tax was intended to take effect in 2018 applying to the employer health plans that cost more than $10,200 for individuals or $27,500 for families. The Cadillac Tax will not take effect until 2022. The tax rate will be set at 40% of coverage costs that exceed those thresholds and will be adjusted for inflation on an annual basis.
- Medical Device Tax: This was a 2.3% tax on medical devices and was most recently suspended until December 31, 2019. The tax would have applied to eligible devices sold by manufacturers, producers or importers, such as hip and knee implants, pacemakers and the like.
- Insurance Provider Fee: This was an annual fee that would be imposed on health insurance providers.
A few other health and welfare provisions from the Act include:
- Increase minimum age to buy tobacco from 18 to 21
- Reduction in Medical Expense Deduction
- Above the Line Deduction for Qualified Tuition and Related Expenses
- Employer Credit for Paid Family and Medical Leave
For more details, see a copy of the Act here.
What These Changes Mean For Employers
While the ACA has yet to be repealed, it remains in constant fluctuation. Though these three ACA taxes have been repealed, providing relief to many businesses, the ACA remains a detailed, confusing piece of legislation—not to mention a thorn in the side of many human resources and payroll professionals. Capturing the data necessary for reporting and preparing reports on time hasn’t gotten any easier.

From the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and NAV Blogs: Post and print; Fixed assets; List views; Customer data
This week on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and NAV blog roundup:
- Post and print function in Dynamics 365 Business Central
- Top six main features of fixed assets
- Business Central: Save and customize list views for increased productivity
- Merging duplicate customer data in Business Central
Post and print function in Dynamics 365 Business Central
Writing on his blog, Stefanetti noted that beginning with Dynamics NAV 2017, Microsoft removed the traditional "post and print" function, replacing it with a different function that lets you do more things by configuring specific sending profiles.
Stefanetti explained that when the newly posted document is opened after posting, you can go ahead and print it. He also explained what to do if you want to work with it the way it was in Dynamics NAV 2016. In his post, Stefanetti described the workaround to use the post and send button to send data to printer. He explained how to set up a document sending profile, how to specify a sending profile on a customer card, and how to test it "in action."

Canadian Payroll 2019 YE Update Round 2
Yesterday, Microsoft released a “Round 2” update for Canadian Payroll for Dynamics GP. What is a round 2 update? It’s a change that wasn’t in the first update in December! Typically we don’t see this in Canadian Payroll but the CRA made a relatively last minute change to the federal basic personal exemption that necessitated an update. There are a few minor fixes to be corrected in this round 2 update as well to keep it interesting! 
Here’s what you need to know and do if you are a Dynamics GP Canadian Payroll user.
NOTE: I’ve been unable to validate the tax calculations in my limited testing. I am unsure if my results are due to some configuration error on my end and I will update this post if/when I figure out what’s wrong. Both environments that I have tested in are GP 2016 for what it’s worth, I have not yet tested either a GP 2015 or Dynamics GP environment.
If you run this install, the GP core build number doesn’t change, but the Canadian Payroll dictionary version does. If you’re not sure if you have the update or not, check the Canadian Payroll control window for the version vs. what I’ve listed below.
Documentation & Downloads
The official blog with all of the details is here.
GP 2015
- CustomerSource download page
- Dynamics GP build: 14.00.1230
- Canadian Payroll build: 14.00.1254
GP 2016
- CustomerSource download page
- Dynamics GP build: 16.00.0814
- Canadian Payroll build: 16.00.0836
Dynamics GP
- CustomerSource download page
- Dynamics GP build: 18.2.1036
- Canadian Payroll build: 18.2.1058
What’s changed?
There are a total of 4 changes in this service pack, one regulatory, two hot fixes around CPP and EI, and one fix around upgrading. If you were on Dynamics GP 2018 or Dynamics GP (aka 18.2), there is a 5th item: it fixes an error you may have received regarding a “caerr.cnk” file (and this was specific to 18.2).
In this section, I’m going to focus only on the payroll specific fixes.
Fix #1: 2020 CPP Maximums
This one is minor (relatively speaking), and time is on your side if you can’t install this tax update right away. Without this tax update, the CPP maximum will be over the allowed amount by $0.90. For most organizations, it will be a while before employees get to this point. By my math, you’d max out on CPP contributions by the end of February if your annual net income was $350,000. Even a $150,000 net income employee doesn’t max out until sometime in May so it will affect some of your higher earners but not for a while in most cases.
Fix #2: CPP & EI Maximums for 2019 T4
This is an issue that will impact you sooner rather than later because it’s T4-related. Without this tax update, the T4 creation process incorrectly uses 2018 maximums for box 24 (EI) and box 26 (CPP). This is fixable via a SQL script if you have already run the Create T4 process. The script is available on the official blog (re-linked here) to update CPY40101.
Do I need to run this script? It depends…
- If you have already run the Create T4 process for 2019, you need to either run this script OR install the tax update and re-run the Create T4 process. Depending on where you are in your T4 preparation process, re-creating may not be a big deal. If you’ve made a lot of edits, I would use the script.
- If you have not yet run the Create T4 process, I would install the tax update and don’t worry about any script.
Regulatory change: Federal Basic Personal Exemption
This is the “big” change, and it’s a significant departure in how tax credits were used in the past. New for 2020, effective Jan 1, 2020, the federal basic personal exemption (BPE for short) amount has changed AND if you earn more than $150,473 in a year, it’s a calculation, not a flat amount.
What? Yeah, I know… it’s odd.
Long story sort of short: when the initial year end changes were announced, the 2020 Federal BPE amount was $12,298. NOW the Federal BPE is $13,229 for most people and a calculation if you earn more than $150,473. Some details can be found here in the CRA’s Q&A. Here’s a screenshot of the gist of it. It’s now a formula. For income earners between $150,473 and $214,368, the BPE will decrease until you get to the original $12,298 number.
What does this mean?
It means you need to install this tax update if you have employees who have annual net incomes greater than $150,473. What the tax update is “supposed to” be doing is embedding some of this calculation in the code, and the actual TD1 values window will still show the old value of $12,298 for Federal.
I have “supposed to” in quotes because in my limited testing, I am not finding that the tax calculations are correct. I have tested in my own sandbox and at one client. In both cases, the payroll before and after the tax update are identical when the tax calculation should differ after the update. I can’t explain the problem but am corresponding with Microsoft to understand what the issue may be. It’s either some kind of configuration issue on my end or a bug in the code, I don’t know which.
What are my options if it doesn’t work for me either?
According to Question 7 of the CRA Q&A link above, employers can use $13,229 for all individuals until their payroll systems are updated to fully implement the proposed legislation. Here’s the exact text:
If you haven’t installed the tax update, you could set your employees all to a Federal BPE of $13,229 per the above Q&A, and the system should calculate tax right with the either the December 2019 update or the January 2020 update in place. I tested this and can confirm the results match what the new tax amount should be.
If you don’t have many income earners over $150,473, you could also go the CRA’s online payroll calculator and run a test scenario for those employees. It will calculate the TD1 federal value, and if you use that in GP in the TD1 values window, you will find the calculations are correct.
If it turns out to be a bug in the code, it will likely get fixed by the mid-year update. I don’t envision we’ll see a “round 3” update… I could be wrong but I don’t see that happening.
Summary
There’s a fair amount to soak in with this but the bottom line is it appears there are options for all of the various scenarios. I hope my environments are (for some reason) an anomaly and that the tax update calculates correctly for others. If it does for you, let me know… I’m curious!
