Thanks for the clarification @MichelleUK!

Would you say it is best practice for people to raise invoices for PAYE earnings then, or just make sure to file any P45/P60s accordingly?

If it was me, I would not raise invoices for the employer at all unless they specifically wanted them. Do you do it just to alert the employer how much to pay you, or do they already know that? If you have to raise them, I would not raise them in the same system as your self employed earnings - too big a chance for things to go wrong, complicated (as you already know!) to show them as paid and generally just creating yourself a reconciliation headache!

For each employment, keep your payslips, P45 copy and P60 (if they issue one). Each employment will need a separate employment page on your tax return.
