Annual PAYE Tax Certificate
The WiseWage Annual PAYE Tax Certificate and Remittance Evidence pack supports an employee's application for a government-issued Tax Clearance Certificate. It is employer-issued supporting evidence and is not itself a Tax Clearance Certificate.

01
Prepare and reconcile the annual record
- 1Open Tax Filing and select a PAYE period for the company.
- 2Record remittance only after reviewing the complete state employee schedule, payment reference and supporting receipt. Uploading PAYE payment/remittance evidence confirms that matching state-and-month schedule as filed with LIRS, FCT-IRS, or the relevant State IRS, including employees with zero PAYE.
- 3WiseWage separately preserves PAYE deducted through payroll, PAYE in the filed employee schedule, and the employee amount allocated to a confirmed employer payment.
- 4Resolve missing payroll months, Tax IDs, annual-return references, receipts, partial remittances and reconciliation differences before relying on the evidence pack.
- 5A consolidated employer payment is labelled separately from the employee amount allocated through the PAYE schedule.
02
Generate and review
- 1Company Admin or Super Admin users can generate a review version from the Annual PAYE Tax Certificates panel in the PAYE filing screen.
- 2The administrator view shows the status and blocking exceptions. Officer, designation, certification date and signature fields remain blank until employer certification is configured.
- 3Employees open Employee Portal > Documents > Annual PAYE Tax Certificate and select a completed tax year.
- 4Employee Excel and PDF downloads become available only when the employee-level annual record is reconciled.
- 5The branded PDF contains a certificate summary, monthly PAYE reconciliation, remittance evidence, review exceptions, employer declaration and verification controls. The Excel workbook contains Annual Certificate, Monthly PAYE, Payment Evidence, Reconciliation, TCC Checklist and Definitions sheets.
- 6Receipt links return through WiseWage authorization and a short-lived private-storage link; private storage URLs are not embedded directly.
03
Versioning, revocation and verification
- 1Generating the same employee and tax year again creates a new version and supersedes the previous active version.
- 2Revocation requires an in-app confirmation and a reason. Revoked versions remain in the audit history.
- 3Public verification exposes only safe certificate metadata and never salary, Tax ID, PAYE values or other employees' information.
- 4The document does not guarantee government TCC approval. Requirements and final issuance remain subject to the relevant tax authority.
