I haven’t worked for 5 years and have moved home within that time and am therefore unable to find my latest p60 how do i get another?
I am on emergency tax and paid nearly £30 on nearly £135.

h: If you have lost your P60 you can write to your previous employer and ask for a ‘statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. We can send you a template if you need to, just Email: template@taxfix.co.uk

My previous employer doesn not give me my P60.Can I claim tax return?

TaxFix - Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Gabi: You can write to your employer and request a statement of earnings on company headed paper, this can be used instead of a P60.

Dave - Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

I have a P60 from the 2007-2008 year, and can get one from this last year (2009-2010), however I don’t have ones from any other years.
Are these required for me to claim tax back from the past 5 years employment?
Thanks

Anonymous - Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

My P60 was issued and the following month, money was deducted from the period covered in the P60, making the details on the P60 wrong. (they deducted it as an apparent overpayment). I have requested that they make the correction but have heard nothing and despite leaving 2 months ago, my P45 has not been registered with the Inland Revenue. How can I get this information please?

TaxFix - Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Dave: If you were working on the last day of the tax year (5th April) you should have been given a P60 from your employer. If you were not working on that day you would not have been given a P60, you may have been given a P45 instead when you finished working. If you were working you need a P60/P45 to claim a tax refund. If you do not have a P60/P45 you can always write to your employer and request a ‘statement of earnings’ on company headed paper, which can be used as a replacement for a P60/P45. If you would like a template letter to send to your employer, we can send you one, just email: template@taxfix.co.uk

I have my end of financial year pay slip detailing the gross pay, taxable pay, tax paid, NI paid and pension contributions. Is it the gross pay and tax paid that would be on the P60? Is it OK to enter those details on a tax return?

Hi, I have never claimed for a tax rebate before. I do not even no if i am owed any tax. I have had about 8 jobs in the last 6 years and do not have ant p45s or p90s to be able to claim any tax back. Some of the companies i have worked for have closed down now. Is there any way i can get all my p45s and p90s from one place?rather than trying each employer?Could HM R&C be able to get them?

Anonymous: Your employers issue the P45/P60 so if some have closed down it may be hard to obtain replacements.

Jaime - Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Heya, I’m Jaime from Spain, I’ve been working for 4 months in Bournemouth but now I’m back in Spain. My problem is that according to my manager, they got some problems at paying me before i left UK, and they also didn’t give me the P45 document, even tho i insisted a lot about it. They told me to trust on them, that they would pay me and they would send me the P45 document through mail. But it’s been 3 weeks already since i left UK and they didn’t pay me nor send the P45 document. After several callings, they were trying to avoid me the whole time “oh sorry, it’s too busy atm” and bullshit like that. I’m really pissed since everytime they needed me when other waiters got sick, i agreed to work on my days off. Now i’m planning to go to Bournemouth, go to any police station and explain everything. Would it help? Since it’s against the law to don’t give me the P45 document, i guess it should.

Any hint? Thanks in advance.

my employer never gave pay slip but he was dedecting my tax and ni from my salary every month from past two and half year and was not given any annual holiday. Now they lost contrat and ultimately I left with no job since 2 month.
When I am asking to give my due vacation pay and P45 he was simply ignoring my calls and ultimately refused to give both.
Could you please advice me in this regards.

I do not need reminding of the laws regarding employment and pay,
especially as the reminder you are trying to provide is not in fact
correct. I can assure you that we have no obligation to provide you with
a statement of earnings. By law we are required to provide you with
information regarding your earnings, and we have fulfilled this obligation
by means of a monthly payslip. Choices payslips contain all the legally
required information, and additional information provided by us to you
that is not mandatory.

In April of 2010 you were provided with a p60. In September of 2010 upon
leaving the company you were provided with a p45. These documents show
all the information of all pay and deductions from while you were employed
by Choices. With regards to reclaiming tax from the HMRC p60’s and p45’s
are accepted.

We are under no legal obligation to provide a statement of earnings, or
any duplicate pay information.

You can contact the tax office for duplicate information if you have lost
the originals.

*** As you can see my employers are refusing to give me a statement of earnings, what should I do next to get one?***

TaxFix - Monday, November 29th, 2010

John: Your employer is required to provide you with a copy of your statement of earnings under the data protection act. They can charge an administration fee, but they must provide this information if requested. You can make a complaint with the Information Commissions Office, if they are not meeting their obligation: http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints/data_protection.aspx

Hi, my first ever job during uni ended on bad terms… it was only a part-time job, and I only worked several shifts (final pay only totalled about £150). My new employer is now asking for a p45 form, however the people I worked for previously never mentioned this, nor did they provide me with the form (it was just a local cafe). As I can’t ask the business I worked for on a trial period for the form, I’m just wondering if my new employer can simply get a new one? Is there anything I need to do?
