The reason individual employee total tax liabilities is likely to not be included in a Payroll Register is that a Payroll Register typically summarizes payroll data for a specific pay period, focusing on current payroll figures for all employees, including hours worked, gross pay, deductions, and net pay.

While the Payroll Register provides a comprehensive view of the current payroll, it does not typically detail the total tax liabilities accrued for individual employees over time. Instead, this information is usually maintained in different records or reports, such as tax liability reports or employee tax files, which track tax obligations but are separate from the regular payroll processing documentation.

Including current payroll figures and month-end payroll calculations aligns with the primary function of a Payroll Register, which is to document and summarize the payroll activity for a specific period. Additionally, while past payroll summary information might provide context or assist in analysis, it is also not a standard part of the Payroll Register since it predominantly serves to record and reflect current payroll data.
