How do I generate final tax certificates for terminated employees during the Annual submission?

A new option has been added to the Tax Certificate Run screen.

This new option allows the user to generate the terminated employees' final tax certificates before the bi-annual submission.

How does it work?

  • If this option is selected then the system will generate a final tax certificate number for the employee.
  • This will only generate the numbers and not an actual tax file.
  • This final certificate number will return on the tax certificate in the "Certificate No." field.
  • The "DRAFT" text on the tax certificate will be removed (This will be released in task 45736).
  • The "Period of Reconciliation" field in the tax certificate number will be "02".
  • This will update the tax certificate which is downloaded from the employee's "Tax Certificates and Historical Drill Down" screen and the "IRP5 / Lump Sum Certificates" legislative report.

PaySpace Impact:

  • All termination reasons are included.
  • If an employee is terminated at the time this process is executed then the employee will be included.
  • If an employee was terminated and reinstated within the tax year, and the file is generated again, the final tax certificate number will be removed for that employee.
  • When this option is selected then the below warning message will appear:

Please note that once the final tax certificate number is created for terminated employees, and a resubmission file is generated, the final tax certificate number will stay the same.

  • This function is only available from March 2022
