P60 Help

Strawberrydreams

Hi I have a P60 query. My husband P60 has a figure of 12k in this employment and 19k in a previous employment total for the year £31K. The 12K has a red box round it and a note saying to use this figure on his tax return. Is that the figure i give tax credits or the total figure of 31K
I think it should be 31K but was not sure
Thanks in advance

if you are filling in a Self Assessment tax return, you need to separate the amounts for each employment

The total amount. The box is highlighted as that is the figure you should give from that p60, but if more than one job you need to tell them the total from ALL p60's/p45's (p60's if still working that job and you have more than one job at a time, p45 for any jobs ended during that tax yr).

There will be only one P60 unless more than one job was worked actually on the 5th April. Employers are only required to issue P60s to employees employed by them on the last working day of the tax year. ny other info for previous employment will come from the copy of the P45.

I wasn't sure from this whether the OP was referring to two (or more) jobs at once.
Obviously if a job finishes you will have p45 and not a p60. Have edited other post, though it may look more confusing now!
