P45 info. not included on P60

Old_Buzzard

P60 has been issued and is incorrect as earnings from previous employment have not been included, even though I had given P45 to payroll. As I have not earned more than £11K this year I should be able to claim all tax taken, but how do I go on to correct this situation as payroll say they never received my P45?

There is no need to try and get your current employer to correct the P60, the bit that really matters on it is the details relating to the employer that issued it.

Presumably you have kept your own copy of the P45 (part 1A) from your previous employer.

All you need to do is phone HMRC and confirm your details for the year and they should be able to calculate any repayment due. If they need the P60 it would only be as evidence of your income with the new employer, they should have the P45 details from the previous company or would want sight of your copy of the P45 for this.

Did it not occur to you to sort this during the year rather than wait till now?
