Incomplete P60

what is the alternative

Didn't find your answer?

Hi All,

We had an employee join us part way through the 2016/17 tax year, I use Basic PAYE tools, I entered the details from the employees P45 (that they brought from their prior employment) and then started processing the monthly payroll as normal - BUT, when I try to produce a P60 the only amounts that are show are those earned in employment with me (i.e not that from the same tax year from the prior employer???) - The employee needs the P60 for a loan application - what do I do? I have the P45 showing part of the years earnings AND the P60 showing the other part of the years earnings?? Is it possible to produce a handwritten P60 and add the two together?

Can the employee not just give the 2016/17 forms P60 and their copy of the p45 to the loan provider?

The employee should have a separate P60 for each employment.

Employers should provide former employees with P60s at the end of each tax year they worked in.

Lenders should understand this and should be able to add the two numbers together themselves.

Whilst not entirely unequivocal, the above link implies that forms P60 are required only for employees still in the metaphorical harness at 5th April.

That is simply not true. Once an employer has issued a form P45 to a leaver, it would be wrong to issue a form P60.

There is a possibility that when an individual has had casual jobs with more than one employer during the tax year, the various employers might not have issued forms P45 and the individual might still be on several employers' payrolls, despite not actually working in March - in such cases, I agree that each employer should issue a form P60.

Correction: employers should but are not legally obliged to issue a P60.

Can you point us to the dream in which this occurred ?

I would say the position is that employers should NOT issue a P60 to former employees but often do it anyway because they think they should.

The rot set in when the issued those three part NCR forms where the bottom part was a P60. Never used to happen when P60s were separate forms.

The bigger problem may be obtaining a blank P60 these days.

Adding handwritten past employment details onto a printed P60 doesn't look convincing.
