    You have to write a P60 for every employee who has worked for you but you don't then give one to ex-employees as the information will have been carried forward to their new employer on their P45.

    This means that the P60 given by a new employer contains the earnings from the past employer as well as the earnings from the new employer.

    You should only have one P60 for any given tax year and not one for each employer you have been employed by through the year.

    Katiepops, the P60 has to only be given to those still in employment at the end of the year - the people that leave get a P45 instead.

    The inland revenue have changed their takc recently, and a duplicate P60 *can* be given - but this is irrelevant as the person left in December. The best bet is, as has already been suggested, ask for a statement of earnings. Just a letter detailing the taxable pay and tax deducted should suffice.
