P6 Certificates, Rules, Setup and Printing

A P6 is a certificate is a receipt that an employee receives for PAYE deduction on behalf of ZIMRA.  It details the employees earnings record for the tax year showing categories of income and deductions. All employees whose remuneration was subject to P.A.Y.E. are entitled to be issued with this tax certificate for their records. The employer is required to issue forms P6 within 30 days from the end of the relevant year or within 30 days of terminating employment services as the case may be.

The P6 report has several categories of tax detail.  When a Transaction Code is created, it is allocated to one of these categories.  So, at the end of the tax year, the total for each of these categories is the total for all the Transaction Codes allocated to it.  All the information on each of the P6's issued to employees is summarized onto the ITF16 export that is audited by ZIMRA at the end of each tax year.

It is important to check each Transaction Code in the system to ensure that it has been allocated. to the correct P6 field.  See this link for more information about how to check and change the P6 field allocated to a Transaction Code.
