Getting old P60 documents?

How many years back can I get a copy of P60 documents for?  Can I get from 2016 to present day?

You can't get a copy of a P60 thats why its so important to keep them, HMRC maybe able to provide info re taxable income, tax paid etc

You can get a copy if your old & current employers have kept them. Ask them.

A subject access request might hit the jackpot: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hmrc-subject-access-request

Before doing that, have you tried your online personal tax account? That should give you the relevant information for the last 5 years. Alternatively, your employer is required to keep copies of P60s for 3 years. They may be able to provide a statement of earnings (which gives the same information) for years before that if you were employed by them, or you can ask HMRC for the information.

Employers no longer send a copy of your P60 to HMRC, and haven't for nearly 10 years now so HMRC won't be able to provide a copy.

As @sammyjammy says though they can supply the same basic information but you will also find the details on your Personal Tax Account.  In fact your PTA could well hold more information as it will have details of employments where a P60 wasn't required.
