Enable tax certificates option for employee self-service

Once you have enabled your employees for self-service, they will be able to log in and view their tax certificates online if you have activated this function. To do this:

  • Go to Employees > Self-Service > Settings > Tax Certificate Settings
  • Click the checkbox Allow tax certificates to be released to self-service. This activates the self-service tax certificates function. They can then log in to self-service to view their P60.
  • Unless otherwise indicated on release, employees will receive an email notifying them when their tax certificates are released. You are also able to attach the latest tax certificate as a PDF to these emails, by clicking on Attach certificates when notifying employees of release via email, which appears after enabling the self-service tax certificates function above.

Release tax certificates to self-service

Once employees have been set up for self-service with the tax certificates function enabled, you can release their tax certificates, IRP5s or IT3(a), to self-service. To do this:

  • Go to Filing > Year-end Filing (P35, P60)
  • Click on Release to Self-Service. Please note, this option will not appear if the tax certificates function is not enabled (see above).
  • Select the correct filing season.
  • You can choose to release all unreleased P60s, or only those for selected employees.
  • You can opt out of notifying the employees by email when these tax certificates are released.
  • Click Confirm.
