IR63 / TD63 Cyprus 2025: get and check your earnings certificate

Your employer’s earnings certificate is the starting document for employment income in the 2025 Cyprus tax return, filed in 2026. Here is where to get it, what to check and how to continue without a PDF.

Source editions: the 2025 certificate and the June 2026 return guide. A check for newer source editions is still pending. This article explains documents, not entitlement to tax relief.

Who this is for

You need this if

  • Employees checking the certificate for work during 2025, including a job they have since left.
  • People preparing the employment part of their 2025 individual income tax return.

You do not need this if

  • An employer preparing its annual employer return: that is a different task.
  • Someone looking for the T.D.59 deductions declaration for payroll in 2026.

What to prepare

  • A completed certificate for 2025 from each relevant employer, if available.
  • Your payroll records for checking amounts and employment dates.
  • Records of other income and deductions; a certificate is not your complete annual return.

Steps

  1. 1

    Ask payroll for the completed 2025 certificate

    Ask your employer or payroll team for your earnings certificate for the year 2025, often called IR63A, TD63A or T.D.63. The Tax Department publishes a blank template, not your personal completed certificate. Its certificate page explains how to contact the district Employers’ Branch if an employer refuses to provide one.

  2. 2

    Check the year, names and tax numbers

    Check that the certificate concerns 2025, identifies you and the correct employer, and records the relevant employment dates. The employee’s tax number and the employer’s tax number are different fields. The employer’s T.I.C., rather than your own, is used in the employer column of Part 4 A1.

  3. 3

    Separate income from deductions and tax withheld

    Section A lists income, while section B lists deductions or contributions. Gross earnings, contributions and income tax withheld are separate figures; take-home pay is not a substitute for gross income. The 2025 template also separates GHS on insurable and non-insurable earnings. Keep that breakdown and check the import against the certificate.

  4. 4

    Upload the PDF or enter the checked figures

    In TaxEndaxi you can upload the completed PDF or choose manual entry. The file is read on your device. If a scan cannot be read or a figure is wrong, check it against the document and correct the entry. If the certificate itself is missing or inconsistent, ask payroll to supply or correct it rather than inventing a figure.

  5. 5

    Review the whole year before filing

    Check every employer and any other income, contributions or deductions relevant to your return. A 2024 return can help with personal details but cannot supply your 2025 earnings. Compare the prepared figures with the official 2025 completion guide and Self-Assessment. Preparing figures here does not submit the return to TAXISnet.

Where people go wrong

  • Uploading a blank template instead of the certificate completed by payroll.
  • Using 2024 earnings for the 2025 return, or using net pay instead of the gross figure.
  • Putting your own tax number in the employer’s T.I.C. field.
  • Treating tax withheld as the final tax liability or a guaranteed refund.

Anything marked “practice” is what the department does in the office, not a rule you can hold it to. Rules carry a source.

Questions

Are IR63, IR63A, TD63 and TD63A the same document?

These names are commonly used for the employer’s earnings certificate. The official 2025 template is headed “Emoluments certificate” and identified as T.D.63A / Τ.Φ.63. Check the tax year and contents of your copy, not just its filename.

Where can I download my own completed IR63A?

Request it from your employer or payroll team. The Tax Department’s public download is the blank certificate template; it does not contain your personal pay or deductions. The Department’s certificate page gives the route for contacting it if an employer refuses.

Can I start without a certificate or a previous return?

Yes. TaxEndaxi offers manual entry and does not require a previous return. You still need reliable records for the figures you enter. If the current certificate is missing or inconsistent, resolve that with payroll and review the figures before filing.

Does the tax withheld on my certificate guarantee a refund?

No. It records income tax already deducted, not the final outcome of your annual return. That outcome depends on the whole year’s income, applicable deductions and relief, and other payments; it must be checked in the official Self-Assessment.
