Inland Revenue P60 - The Facts

Each week we get a large number of questions regarding P60s and P45s. Our tax experts have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions and answers. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on the Email address below:
What is a P60?
A P60 is a tax document, issued by your employer at the end of the tax year, usually around April or May.
What does my P60 show?
Your P60 will show the following information:
- Your national insurance number
- Your income for the tax year
- The amount you paid in tax in the tax year
- Other additional information
Why have I been given more then one P60?
If you have changed jobs part way through the tax year, you may be given more then one P60, one from each employer.
What do I do if I have lost or am not given a P60?
Your employer is required by law to provide you with a copy of your P60 and should do so automatically. If you have been given a P60 but have lost it, you can ask your former employer for a statement of earnings which is a sufficient replacement when claiming a tax refund.
What is the difference between a P60 and a P45?
A P45 is given to you when you finish working for an employer whereas a P60 is given to you at the end of the tax year. You can read more about P45’s on our P45 information page.
How do I know if I am due a tax refund from my P60?
There should be a tax figure and an income figure on your P60. This shows how much you have earned and paid in tax in the year. Input these amounts into our tax refund calculator and it will calculate whether you are due a tax rebate.
What if I do not want to or am unable to get my P60 or statement of earnings?
We can help you apply for a tax rebate from the Inland Revenue even if you do not have all of your P45s or P60s. We can obtain a maximum of two statement of earnings from previous employers.

Hi, What can i do if my employer will not provide me with a P60? I keep asking but i`m getting no where. If it is law, how can he keep refusing me my legal right. I do not want to loose my job over this. Please advise, many thanks.
Damijan Olip - Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
Hello!
I worked as a language assistant teacher in Wales from 1st Oktober 2008 – 31st April 2009. I forgot to get my P60 before I left, and now I need it. Where could i get it now? At my last employer? (Is this the caerleon Comprehensive School I worked at, or the City Council of Newport?) And… I also worked in another school there in another council area.. do I need another P60?
TaxFix - Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
Hi Damijan,
Sorry we can’t tell you who your employer was. It should say on your wage slips or contract.
You can get a replacement P60 by writing to your employer and asking for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. They are required by law to provide this for the last 6 years and this can be used as a replacement for a P60. If you are claiming a tax rebate you will need a P45/P60 for each employer.
TaxFix - Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
Hi Mrs Owen,
Your employer should give you a P60 before the 1st June. If they do not, and you do not want to rock the boat, you could write to them and ask for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. A statement of earnings can be used as a replacement for a P60. I hope this helps.

My employer refuses to give me my p60 what do i do next ?
MR T Watts - Thursday, May 13th, 2010
i wish to claim child tax credits. to do this i need my p60 but my employer is delaying giving this to me or anyone else who works in his pub.This delay is losing me child tax credits as they only backdate a certain amount of time can i claim the money i have lost from my employer as he is responsible for the delay ?
TaxFix - Thursday, May 13th, 2010
Your employer is required to give you a P60 if you were working for them on the 5th April.
If they do not you can write to them and ask for a statement of earnings which can act as a replacement to a P60.
TaxFix - Thursday, May 13th, 2010
Hi Mr. Watts,
Your employer is required to give you your P60 before the 1st June.
If you need a P60 before then you can ask your employer for a statement of earnings on company headed paper which can act as a replacement for a P60.
M Murray - Thursday, May 13th, 2010
I worked for 11 years in one job until October 2009 when it changed hands. I stayed in that job but with new employer, receiving my P45 from old employer. I then left and moved to my current job. I’ve received my P60 for this year from my current position, but do either of the old jobs as they were in the last tax year have to give my a P60? Confused!
Mr K - Friday, May 14th, 2010
Hi I have worked for two different employers from the 14th april 2009 to 23rd march 2010 with having two periods inbetween this on Job seekers allowance. I have recently just started new employment on the 13th april 2010. where would I be able to get my P60 from?. I need this to start claiming child tax credits
Anonymous - Friday, May 14th, 2010
my employer has failed to declare my tax earned in march 2010 until April 2010.This has meant it is in 2010-11.
If it was in 2009-10 as it was earned I would only pay 20% tax which is correct since I was well under the higher rate threshold i terms of earnings .
In 2010-11 my earnings will exceed the lower threshold and any earnings will attract the 40% rate.
so this money earnt in the last tax year is in this year and will cost me 500 pounds.
What can I do about this ?
they have said theres no P60 as they didnt do one even though they registered me as an employee on the 17th March
TaxFix - Friday, May 14th, 2010
M Murray,
You only get a P60 if you are working for an employer on the 5th April. If you finish working for an employer you get a P45.
I hope this helps.
TaxFix - Friday, May 14th, 2010
Mr K,
You only get a P60 from an employer if you were working for them on the 5th April (the end of the tax year). If you stop working for an employer before the 5th April you should have been given a P45, which will show how much you have earned and how much you have paid in tax.
Stuart - Saturday, May 15th, 2010
Hello.
I was made redundant in January after the firm I worked for was placed in liquidation.
I haven’t had a P45, a P60 from the last tax year 09/10, or the previous one 08/09.
How do I go about obtaining them?
I was an employee for 6 and a half continual years
TaxFix - Sunday, May 16th, 2010
Hi Stuart,
You only get a P60 if you are working for a company on the 5th April (the end of the tax year).
You should have been given a P45 when you finished working. If you were not any the company is now in liquidation it may be hard to get a replacement. You could contact your local tax office to see what records that have of your employmenet, pay and tax.
Charlee - Monday, May 17th, 2010
Hi i’ve lost my p45 do i need it to renew my tax credits and what should i do if i do need it ?
Mark - Monday, May 17th, 2010
I seem to remember that when I used to do the salaries and wages for a company that I worked for many years ago, the P60 should (by law) be received by the tax office and also the employee on or before the 19th May for the year just ended – Does anyone know if this still applies?
TaxFix - Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Hi Charlee,
If you do not have a P45, you can write to your employer and ask for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper.
TaxFix - Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
Hi Mark,
The deadline for a company to have given you a P60 is the 1st June.
C_Whitby - Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
Hi,
I changed jobs in January this year and was given my P45 by my old employers. However, the other week I received a P60 from them – is that right? I though you only received P60’s from your current employer. Please advise – thanks!
Mrs Reed - Thursday, May 20th, 2010
My husband’s name is spelt incorrectly on his P60. Will this be a problem?
Martin Rhymes - Thursday, May 20th, 2010
I am currently in dispute with my employer. I have been laid off for a long time but am still on the books. I therefore should get a p60. I know that my employer wont do this nor produce a statement of earnings. What action can I take to force them to do so or who can I contact to report this breach in the law ?
TaxFix - Thursday, May 20th, 2010
C_Whitby: Yes, you should only receive a P60 if you are working for an employer on the 5th April. (the end of the tax year)
TaxFix - Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Mrs Reed: It depends if he needs it for anything. It may be advisable to ask his employer for an amended copy.
TaxFix - Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Martin: You have a right (Under the 1998 Data Protection Act) to have any information that a company holds on you. If this is not given it is a breach of the data protection act. You can report this here

From April 2009 I have worked for three companies and the first two have not sent me a p45 and I have just recieved my p60 and it not correct because the last two employment earning are not on there what should I do as I need to renew my tax credits.
N Wright - Monday, May 24th, 2010
I am in the process of sending off my student finance to start University in Sept 2010 and i need my mum’s P60 for the tax year 08-09. She has lost it and they wont accept this years. How do i go about sending them the evidence they need to review my situation? Thanks in advance.
Anonymous - Monday, May 24th, 2010
Is an electronic copy of a P60 printed out myself sufficient? Does it not need to be an offically printed version to be usable (for proof of income etc)?
TaxFix - Monday, May 24th, 2010
N Wright: Your mum can write to her employer and ask them for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper for the tax year in question. This can act as a replacement for a P60.
TaxFix - Monday, May 24th, 2010
Anonymous: It needs to be an original P60 from your employer. If you do not have that you can ask for employer for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper.
Sumit - Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
Hi,
I have a P60 form from my employer but the NI number is not mentioned. How can I get this please?
Keefer - Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
I started work on the 16th March and received my first payslip on the 20th April. Am I due a P60 for period 16th March to 5th April?
TaxFix - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
Sumit: You can ask your employer to reissue your P60 if your NI number. They may not of had it, and so that is why they didn’t include it.
Kayleigh - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
I started work on the 8th of Feb this year. i have yet to recieve a P60. should i be getting one from my current employer?
TaxFix - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
Kayleigh: Yes, if you were working for them on the 5th April (the end of the tax year) you should get a P60. Your employer has until the 1st June to give you one. If you do not get one, ask your employer, and if they are not forthcoming, request a ’statement of earnings’. They are required by law to provide this and it can be used to claim your tax back.
confused - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
We get our wage slips on-line, can the P60 also be on-line or is it a legal requirement to have it as a hard copy from the employer?
TaxFix - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
The Inland Revenue states that your employer must give you a hard copy of your P60. In their guidance to employers, they state:
“Even if you have been giving your employees electronic payslips, you must give your employees a paper form P60 at the end of the tax year. You must not, by law, give them P60 details electronically for them to print off.”
confused - Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
I have heard that for the tax year 2010/11 onwards P60s can be provided in electronic form.
Is this so, or does you reply earlier still stand?
Katie - Thursday, May 27th, 2010
I’m currently applying for student finance and sent off my mums p60 year ending 2009. They sent a letter back saying they need more evidence of earnings because the tax code is w1 which would suggest she had other income at the time. This is not the case though, her previous employer never gave her p60 or p45 and were being investigated for reasons I do not know of but HMRC sorted it and she has recieved tax credits notifications with earnings. Would this be sufficient evidence or is there anything else I could send?
TaxFix - Thursday, May 27th, 2010
Katie: I would give the student finance people a call. Sorry we can’t be any more help but they are probably the best people to ask on what they would accept as evidence.
anonymous - Saturday, May 29th, 2010
hi, i have been given 2 p60 but i work for the same company,and the same boss, but they have 2 different employers names and address on them, i havnt left my job, so i dont no which one i work for, confused.
H. F. - Saturday, May 29th, 2010
The annual earnings total on my P60 does not appear to be the same figure as on my month 12 payslip. I contribute to a work’s pension scheme and pay full NI contributions.
TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010
H. F.: How much is it out by? The P60 should show how much you earned between April 6th and April 5th the following year. Often wage slips don’t correspond to these dates, as people are paid on different days.
TaxFix - Saturday, May 29th, 2010
anonymous: I would speak to your boss or your payroll department and ask them why you have been given two P60’s, you should only be given one if you are working for one company.
lauren - Monday, May 31st, 2010
what should i do if my employer has given me a photocopy of my p60 along with my details being incorrect. includin my national insurance number, amount earned for the year and it also states i havent paid tax when i have. should i take it to the local tax office?
TaxFix - Monday, May 31st, 2010
Lauren: I would first contact the payroll department of your company and notify them of the error. They have an obligation under the data protection act to have accurate data regarding you and your employment, and they are required to correct any mistakes.
lauren - Monday, May 31st, 2010
everyone employed here has a photocopy not an original and all have incorrect data. I think im going to the local tax office they should be able to sort it shouldnt they
Dovlet - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
I’ve been working while i was a student and i did not have any NI number as i did not know that i needed one. Now i’m about to leave the country and i’ve got my P60 but no NI number. Can I still get my tax back?
TaxFix - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
Dovlet: You need a national insurance number to claim a tax refund. You can still get one by going to your local job centre. It is worth doing, as you are likely due a large tax refund.
Dovlet - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
If i do so and get NI number, do i need to change my P60s?
Thank you!
TaxFix - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
Dovlet: You can use your current P60s.
COIA - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
In the period of April 09 and April 10 I have had 3 jobs and received the p60 from the last job but it doesnt show the tax from the previous two jobs. The second company I only worked for two months. I want to apply for child tax, but I don’t know the amount of money I should place there.
TaxFix - Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
COIA: The other two companies should have given you P45’s when you finished working for them. If they did not, you can write to them and ask for a statement of earnings on company headed paper, this will act as a replacement for any lost P45 or P60.
john edwin mackenzie - Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
My employer is refusing point blank to give my either statement of earnings or p60.
What legal steps may I take in this case?
TaxFix - Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
John Edwin Mackenzie: The Inland Revenue requires all employers to provide a P60 to their employees no later than the 31st May. I would remind your employer of their obligation and if they still refuse, take it up with your local tax office. Alternatively your employer is required under the data protection act to provide a statement of earnings, you can take this up with them if your employer refuses.
Shane - Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
Is it OK for an employer to give out photocopies of a P60 ? This is just a photocopy of the original to be clear on that .
When queried about it the responce of ” that’s all you are getting” is a bit off to me !
I thought that the original was a legal document , indeed a lot of places will not accept a copy of it.
TaxFix - Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
Shane: Your employer should give you an original P60. Do you need the P60 to claim a tax refund? If so, maybe it would be easier to request a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. This can be used as a replacement for a P60 and your employer is required to provide this otherwise they would be breaching the data protection act.
Anon - Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
My partner worked in a previous job and left on 1st July. He started his present job on 13th July. When he received his P60 for the end of tax year 2010 from his present employer, it did not include pay or tax from previous employment, only pay and tax from this job. I need to apply for tax credits, do i put on the form what is on the P60? Many thanks
TaxFix - Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
Anon: When your partner finished his job on 1st July he should have been given a P45. You can use this in additional to the P60 to calculate how much income was earned during the year.
anon. - Monday, June 7th, 2010
can you tell me if iam entitled to a p60 if i get paid weekly,its just that my employer says i have to be paid monthly into the bank to get a p60 and wouldnt get one now if i did dicide to get paid monthly untill nxt year,and if iam not happy about that they said i can leave.
Sanad - Monday, June 7th, 2010
Hi. I left my job during November 2009 and still not employed elsewhere. how can i get my p60 ? (My Ex-Emplyer refused to give p60. and according to them I’m only entitled for P45 and not P60 as I was not working for them at 5th April 2010)
Please advice How to get P60 now ?
TaxFix - Monday, June 7th, 2010
anon: This is not true, it does not matter if you get paid monthly or weekly. What do you need your P60 for? You can write to your employer and ask that they provide you with a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. A statement of earnings can be used as a replacement for a P60.
TaxFix - Monday, June 7th, 2010
Sanad: You only get a P60 if you are working on the last day of the tax year (April 5th). Why do you need a P60?
Sanad - Monday, June 7th, 2010
Thank you for you reply. I will need p60 for Visa purposes.
So.. does that mean I will not have any p60 for the year 2009/10 ?
Is there any alternative way to get p60?
bab - Monday, June 7th, 2010
my employee left on the 05.03.10.
am i required to give them a P60?
Mig2 - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
For the third time in row, my employer keeps stating the wrong amount on my P60. I work with an agency and my P60 always shows an amount less than 4000 pounds although when I check all the payments I have received through my bank account, the amount for any of the 3 financial years I have earned over 7000pounds in net figures. This has resulted into the jobcentre not being able to give me any benefits while I did not have a job as they said I have not paid enough NI contributions due to my low earnings. However, I do pay both tax and NI on my payslips. Could you please let me know what I should do?
Sanad - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
RE: TaxFix – Monday, June 7th, 2010
Many thanks for your reply. I need a P60 for a Visa purposes and my questions are :
1.Does that mean I will not have P60 for year 09/10 what so ever ???
2.If not please advise an alternative to obtain my P60.
Many thanks in anticipation.
TaxFix - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Sanad: You will not get a P60 because you were not working on the last day of the year. You should have been given a P45 when you finished working. This would have the same information. Alternatively you can write to your employer and ask for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. This can also act as a replacement for a lost P60.
TaxFix - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
bab: No. You only give an employer a P60 if they were working on the last day of the tax year (April 5th).
TaxFix - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Mig2: You can show your agency the mistake and ask them to correct the P60’s. They are required under the data protection act to provide accurate information and data about you, and they need to correct any data if it is shown to be incorrect.
TaxFix - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Sanad: 1. You are correct, you will not have a P60. 2. You can write to your employer and ask for a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper, which can be used as a replacement for a P60.
stevie - Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
I am confused about what figure to use for my tax credits from my p60. The P60 has a figure for ‘this employment pay’ and ‘tax deducted’. Do I just use the figure for ‘this employment pay’ or should I add the tax deducted onto it?
Mig2 - Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
I have done so the first two times but they keep giving me these quite complicated explanations that get me lost, especially saying that it is hard to understand as I am not an accountant. Moreover, I am now starting to think that it is done on purpose as some of my colleagues said the same about their P60 today when I introduced the subject. Can it be a fraudulent case? If so, what shall I do? For example, after working full time without for a whole year, my P60 shows that I earned 3962 pounds for the whole financial year!!!! Even if I get paid a minimum wage, I don’t think my earnings would be that low!!! Thanks
f - Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
my employer is reluctant to give me a P60 i dont want to rock boat but want to make it clear there are fines/penalties for witholding this what are the current rates for this???????
TaxFix - Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
Mig2: You can contact your local tax office and see what details they have on file for your pay and tax for the year and see if it corresponds of what your employer says. You can then question this with them. I hoep this helps.
Anonymous - Thursday, June 10th, 2010
Can a tax credit form declaring earnings for the year be used instead of a p60. The employer supplied details of earnings. Or do you need a statement of earnings on company headed paper. My employer will not return my calls.
TaxFix - Saturday, June 12th, 2010
Anonymous: If you do not have a P60, a statement of earnings from on company headed paper from your employer is needed or the Inland Revenue will not process your claim.
Hannah Snow - Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
I am employed in Place A but have been doing some extra work in my holiday. I’m not sure if my employer would be ok with this so simply haven’t asked! I received six days’ pay amounting to £904 (and paid tax on this). Will this show on my P60 (or anywhere else) so that my employer is made aware of my holiday work?
Sharon - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
I once worked for an agency with placements in a hospital. Later I found a permanent staff member job in the same hospital. I received a P60 from my permanet job, but should I have received one from the agency placements as well?
Claire - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
My husband did some temping work during the tax year 2009/2010 on and off until he got a permanent job in October 2010.
He has a P60 which gives the salary he earnt at his current employer and also “previous employment(s)”. Would the figure under ‘previous employments’ include all the temporary work he did during the tax year for different agencies, or just the last one he worked for?
We need to submit the information for child tax credits and are trying to avoid double counting.
TaxFix - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
Hannah Snow: Hi Hannah. It will not show up on your P60 from employer A.
TaxFix - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
Sharon: You should have only received a P60 from the company or agency that was employing or paying you.
TaxFix - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
Claire: To avoid double counting I would compare the P60 to his wage slips. If you do not have the wage slips you can write to his previous employers and ask for a statement of earnings, which will show how much he paid in tax and earned.
Z Wright - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
I called my employer (temp agency) in April as I had not received my P60 and my colleague had, to ask when I would get it, I was told that I should wait until the end of May as this was when it would definately have been processed by due to the legal requirements. I called back at end of May, still no P60, and asked for statement of earnings as I was told I should have had it by then. I called a week later as I hadn’t received anything and was told that they couldn’t do anything about it and speak to tax office if I’d lost it – Tax office since then has told me that the employer has not even submitted the information to them. They are now refusing to have anything to do with it, as the company I am working for has switched from their agency to another, and so claim it is the new agency’s job to deal with it. Please can you tell me what I should do next and who I can report this to? Thank you! (sorry such a long message!)
Hannah Snow - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
Thanks for that reassurance.
Hannah Snow - Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
I’ve carried on worrying about this despite your reassurance! So, neither will know about the other?
TaxFix - Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Z Wright: It looks like neither you or the Inland Revenue has been given any details of your pay or tax, so it may be hard to claim any tax refund. You could ask the Inland Revenue if they will accept your wage slip in this situation.
ann - Friday, June 18th, 2010
I have not been given my p60 from my employer as they have lost it,everyone else in the whole firm received one.What do they or I do now as I need this to claim for tax credits.
TaxFix - Friday, June 18th, 2010
ann: If you or your employer has lost your P60, you can write to your payroll department and request a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. This can be used as a replacement for a P60.

i have been employed with the same company for 3 years but i have never been given a p60 can i get them from tax office
Hayley - Saturday, June 19th, 2010
I have been working for my employer now since 1st June 09. I have an employment contract. I have recently been requesting a p60 + wageslips that I have never had and my employer is just fobbing me off. I don’t want to cause to much of a stirr as I’m a single mum and I need my job. I’ve now starting to realise that my boss has probably not paid my tax for the duration of working for him! He pays money into my bank each month less tax. After asking advise from a few people they have said that if they don’t pay my tax I will end up paying it!
This seems so unfair. Can please advise me of my rights.
Kind regards
Hayley

I was made redundant from my previous job on 19th March and did not start my new job until 4th May! My IVA company are asking for a P60 for 2009/2010, can I get this from my previous employer even though I left just before the end of the tax year, even though my notice period was paid until April 9th?
Pietro - Sunday, June 20th, 2010
What can I do if my old company refuse to giveme the P45 plus P60?
TaxFix - Monday, June 21st, 2010
Pietro: You can write to your employer and request a ’statement of earnings’ on company headed paper. This can be used as a replacement for a P60 or P45.
TaxFix - Monday, June 21st, 2010
LaLatotty: As you were not working on the last day of the tax year (April 5th) you will not be given a P60. You should have been given a P45 from your previous employer.

i work in a tiny independent school, my employer actually walked out on 23rd March without paying me and I have not had a P60 or P45, I’ve tried ringing the tax office but they just told me to talk to ACAS. How can I find out if she was still my employer on April 5th.(I have a new employer now but she didn’t take over until April 19th)I am the only employee.
LaLatotty - Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Thank you for your answer, however, my P45 was given to my new employer so how do I go about getting P60 tax details for my IVA company. Can my old firm still provide me with a statement of earnings for the last tax year?

On my 2009/10 P60 the gross pay figure shown is higher than my actual salary. I have queried this and have been told that the gross figure includes the pension contributions I make into the company pension scheme. Is this correct as I have alway assumed that the gross figure is just earnings.

mooro: I assume you want to know to work out if you should have been given a P60? If so, you can simply write to your employer and ask if you were employed on the 5th April. Either way, you can also write and request a statement of earnings, from your employer which can be used as a replacement to a P60.
TaxFix - Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
LaLatotty: Yes your previous employer can and must provide a statement of earnings if requested within 6 years of working for them. A statement of earnings can be used as a replacement for a P60.

I’m an EU-national, who worked in UK for 4 years. I left my job in Feb 2009, my employer posted the last P60 in April 2009 but it got lost somewhere, I never received it.
I don’t actually need it, but my question is: if it fell into wrong hands, what are the possibilities that a fraud is done by someone, using my name and other information the P60 provides? Is it possible at all? Do I need to report the loss of it anywhere? I left the UK last year, had no other job there since Feb 2009.

I have worked for the same company for 10 years and am in dispute with the Student Loans company as they say I have not paid my loans back. This is stated on my P60s however the SLC will not take copies of my P60 and duplicates from my employer. My employer is saying they are only legally allowed to give 2 years worth. Under the DPA do they have to provide all when asked?
Cheers

Hi, I hope that someone can help me.
I have a sage 50 payroll program that i am teaching myself to use.
I have 7 employees of which one left last year, and received a P45, one started in Dec 09 and one started in Jan 2010.
My problem is that everyone is receiving a P11D, the staff apart from the new staff on receiving P14’s and P60’s apart from the one who left, but the staff i am missing for P14 and P60 are the two new staff. if they have not earned enough to show tax and Ni etc, would they still receive this information?
I have checked the inputing of the P45’s etc and all is correct, i just don’t know why they have not printed?
Please help, it is driving me bonkers.

Gambit: A P60 does not need to be given if no tax was paid.

jimbo: You only get a P60 if you were working for a company on the 5th April. If you were not you should be given a P45.

i left my previous job before the tax year ended and started a new job after the new tax year began, who do i get my p60 from as i need it to claim child tax credits?
Mrs KK - Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
I have worked for the same employer (small business)for 19 yrs. In all that time i have never been given a P60 nor a wage slip. I did manage to get 1 out of him a few yrs back when i was applying for a mortgage but that’s it.
Asking for them causes tension and i am concerned he may be claiming any tax rebate i may be entitled to.
What do i do?
TaxFix - Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Danni: Ask your previous employer for a statement of earnings, this can be used as a replacement.
TaxFix - Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Mrs KK: You could ask for a statement of earnings on company headed paper, which can be used as a replacement for a P60. You can use your wage slip to see if you are due a tax rebate, but normally if you work for the same employer for the whole year it is less likely you will be due a tax rebate.

I am going through a divorce process with my banker ex husband who is clearly trying to hide money from investments/shares etc. He was made redundant on 31 May 2009 and started new employment on 1 July, and was therefore was not in employment on 5 April. He has provided a P45 but this only shows income earned and I need the information which would be on a P60. How can I find out this information if a P60 is not available? Many thanks.

I only work part time and earn < £5000 per annum. My husband works fulltime and earns £20000. We have children. To complete our claim for tax credits I have asked my employer over the last 6 weeks to provide a P60, I have also asked for a statement of earnings but each time I am being fobbed off. I have until the 31st of this month to return my completed tax credit form and I extremely worried I will not get a P60/statement.
Are there no other options available to me, what would be my best course of action?

I transferred between government departments during the last tax year. I did not get a P45 on transfer, but my P60 only shows my earnings in the more recent post. Should I be chasing my current deaprtment for a corrected P60, or my old one for a P45?
