Verify End of Year P60

At the end of each tax year, a P60 is generated with the employee's total earnings, tax paid, national insurance paid, and any statutory payments they have received for the tax year.

You can reconcile the figures using the P60 Audit Report, and the Run Year to Date Reconciliation Report. You can follow these steps:

  1. Run the End of Year P60 Report.

    This will generate a P60 Audit Report XLS file. You will find this on the Run End of Year P60 Archive task. You can then compare this with the Run Year to Date Reconciliation Report.

  2. Run the Year to Date Reconciliation Report.

    You need to ensure that a value is entered for the Tax Reporting Unit field. Else, the P60 values will not appear in the report.

  3. Compare the P60 Audit Report and the Run Year End to Date Reconciliation Report.
    To ensure the values are accurate, compare the results in the P60 Audit Report, and the values in the Run Year End to Date Reconciliation Report. The values should match as shown here:
