LMG is an internal label sometimes associated with a land or housing mortgage. It is not a standard payroll tax and should not be expanded without the employer’s legend.

Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.

How to read this entry

Use the possible interpretation Land or housing mortgage payment alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.

Example on a pay statement

A $200 mortgage-related deduction should match the authorised payment to the relevant lender or housing arrangement.

Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.

What to check with payroll

Identify the agreement, recipient and whether the payment is split across paydays.
