P60 still not received.

ferry

I still have not yet received my P60 for 10/11 tax year.

I changed jobs on 16th May and this may be the reason?
Who do I cantact-the Tax office or my employer which was an agency up to 13th May?

Thanks as usual

I'm not an expert, but i'm not sure that in your shoes I'd expect a P60 in the circumstances ? Presumably your employer up to 1st April gave you a p45 when you left, and therefore wouldn't produce a P60 for you. And you probably won't have fallen into a payroll run for tax year 2010-11 for your new emplyer, so I'm not sure that I'd expect one from them either.

But someone more knowledgable may know better than me....

Spot on.
If you are worried about red tape and just want reassurance then relax, these things happen with job changes in March /April.
However, if you need a P60 for other reasons if you can explain why you think you need a P60 we can look a bit deeper.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the replies.
Firstly I thought that you always got a P60 regardless and changing jobs on 1/4 was just coincindental.
Oddly enough I'm still waiting for my P45 too but will enquire at the agency I was with.

I need something to confirm my total income for 10/11 for Tax Credits purposes.Will the P45 show this info?

Thanks again for the ongoing advice

The P45 should show it, with the total year to date figures.

You need to check it though, because my girlfriend was made redundant last year, was on jobseekers for around a month and then got a new job. Because jobseekers didn't add up the total year to date figures at all, it resulted in her overpaying PAYE tax and having to claim a repayment.

I too was on Jobseekers Allowance for a time last year-does this figure show in the overall earnings on P45 or on a seperate form?

liam8282

On the P45 it should in theory show your total overall earnings. Everytime you start a new job, you give them your P45 from your old job (or jobseekers) and they add your earnings from any previous employment (jobseekers) to give your total earnings to date.

Your final P45 should agree to your P60 for the total earnings for the year.

As I said before though, just double check it.

Hi
Sorry to drag up an old thread but I'm still a bit concerned over my non receiving of a P60 for 10-11 tax year.
I've edited my original post as I have exact dates of my employment..

Taken from HMRC website:
P60

Your P60 is the summary of your pay and the tax that's been deducted from it in the tax year.
Your employer should provide you with a P60 to keep as a record at the end of every tax year (which runs from 6 April to 5 April the next year). If your employer doesn't give you a P60 at the end of the tax year, ask for it - you're entitled to it by law if you are still working for the employer at 5 April.

So should I get onto my agency who I was employed with as at 5th April?

Thanks for the ongoing advice.

Your employer has a legal obligation to provide you with a P60 by the 31st May if you were in their employment on the 5th April. Get in touch with them to ask them for it.

System

If your employer uses the HMRC filing system then it could be a fault at the tax office end.
I filed our P35 end of year return early in April, and received confirmation that it has been received. However the system has now locked up and it won't let me access P60s.
Repeated phone calls and letters of complaint have failed to produce any action - I am simply told that their engineers are looking at the problem.

To staff who keep asking for their P60s I just give a statement from our own records of pay, tax, etc. It's not a legal P60, but it seems to satisfy councils, tax credit office, etc.

Apololgies still a bit confused.
I think my employment history 6/4/10 to 5/4/11 tax year may be a bit confusing:

Employed full time 6/4/10 -14/5/10 with long term employer then made redundant...
So,Registered unemployed 15/5/10 - 9/1/11
Started work through an agency 11/1/11-5/4/11 (to present day).

Based on this info,does this sound like I should have a p60 reflecting any employment income from 6/4/10 - 5/4/11?

Thanks as usual
