Instructions on how to export your ITF16 File
Please note that for local currency payrolls, a tax split was implemented when the Zimbabwe Gold currency was introduced. As a result, when exporting the ITF16, you will need to generate one export for the period from January to March period and a second one for the period April to December 2024.
- For payrolls originally in local currency (Zimbabwe Gold) that were switched to Multicurrency payrolls, a tax split is required when exporting the ITF16. This should be done for periods before the payroll conversion and again after the conversion. If the conversion took place after the introduction of the new Zimbabwe Gold currency, three ITF16s must be exported: one for the period from January to March, another from April until the last month processed in local currency, and the final one from the month the Multicurrency was implemented through to December.
- If you converted an existing USD payroll to Multicurrency, no tax split will be required on your ITF16, as both the USD payroll and the Multicurrency payroll use USD tax bands.
