Description

You need to issue a P60 for every employee who works for you on 5 April 2026 by the deadline of 31 May 2026.

NOTE:

Before you produce P60s, download and install the Sage 50 Payroll year end update.

Helpful information

  • If any employees leave before 5 April 2026, you don't need to produce a P60 for them, issue a P45 instead
  • P60s display employees' taxable gross pay
  • If an employee starts in 2025/2026, but you don't pay them until 2026/2027, either:
    • Issue their 2025/2026 P60 outside of your software, or
    • ▼ Follow the workaround to issue the P60 using your software
      1. Set up your employee's record in Sage 50 Payroll.
      2. Go to Payroll then Change Process Date.
      3. Set this to the last day of the tax year, 5 April.
      4. Enter the employee's 2025/2026 year to date values.
      5. Go to Enter Payments, check that all employees' payments are £0, including their net pay.
      6. Click Update Records as normal. You don't need to submit a Full Payment Submission.

      You can now produce the employee's P60 in Sage 50 Payroll using the steps below.
