    may be worth checking with the tax office, for possible back up records.. assuming employer acctually paid the tax!

    btw, i have NEVER heard of hand written P60's - sounds rather iffy to me.


    Do you do payroll then? .why should it be iffy ? some small companies will still handwrite payslips i would have thought

    Its perfectly acceptable to handwrite P60's and any other HMRC form. Not all employers use software or even want to - those of us who were raised on Tax Tables A and B find them perfectly adequate. I would suggest a formal complaint to the head of the SLC.

    There's a little stationery shop down the road from us and the chap who runs it still types his invoices, using carbon paper too! I am quite sure he still has a supply of typewriter ribbons (electric and manual) stashed away somewhere.

    I was hand-writing both payslips and P60s a few years ago, and DH's forms have only recently NOT been hand-written!

    BTW, did the OP's friend get anywhere with SLC?
