P60 query from old employer

camxg1977

Hi,
In April 2020 I received a bonus payment from an employer I left in Feb 2020.  The payment was for my performance with them in 2019.  As this payment contributes to my 2020-21 income, should the previous employer be sending me a P60-type notification for my self assessment?

You only receive a P60 from an employer when you are employed by them at the end of the tax year.

They won't send an actual P60, but they are required to give you "written confirmation of the payment showing the gross amount and deductions".

You can then enter these details -- pay, tax deducted, and so on -- into self-assessment as if they appeared on a P60. Sometimes a simple payslip might be enough, but if not (perhaps it's inscrutable) then ask your former employer's HR department for a 'Statement of Earnings' that clearly shows your pay and deductions.

And you should be able to see what your employer has sent to HMRC on your Personal Tax Account.
