The other thing is that it is your previous years income.
No it isn't, it's your current year's earnings to date, and will include any salary increases made in the last year. What it definitely won't show is what you earned last year - you seem to be thinking of a P60, which you wouldn't give to a new employer anyway.0 -

From P45 part 2If you do not want your new employer to know the details on this form, send it to your Inland Revenue office immediately with a letter saying so and giving the name and address of your new employer. The Inland Revenue office can make special arrangements, but you may pay too much tax for a while as a result.0

Did did exactly the same. P45 went direct to payroll, no one blinked. if they had, there was plenty of room for mentioning the notional cash value of employee benefits.
Don't forget that pension contributions would also be deducted to arrive at the taxable pay to date on your P45, so would also help to explain any apparent discrepancy."When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson0 -
Hi, I have just been offered a new job but I would prefer for my new employer not to know my previous salary (as i exaggerated my salary at my interview, in order to negotiate a decent salary at my new job ).
Or in other words you committed fraud! So you are now looking for information as to how to duck and dive in order to cover it up? Not a good start to a trusting contractual relationship really!
I'm sure lot of people do it, many will get away with it and no doubt some employers will not be bothered and see it as "all part of the game".
However, other employers will take a very dim view indeed and if yours in one of them you may well find yourself dismissed before you even start.
One of life's little lessons.0 -

I hope your employer discovers this and fires you, my only regret is that you haven't left enough identifying information in your post that I could tell them myself.0 -

On the face of it, it's textbook fraud. The only saving grace would be if the employer offered them the salary regardless of their current income.0
