P60

An employer must provide a form P60 to each employee who is working for them at the end of the tax year. The P60 confirms an employee's final tax code and shows their total earnings for the year, as well as the year's total tax deductions and National Insurance Contributions. The deadline for an employer to provide P60s to their employees is 1st June following the end of the tax year.

The employee should then retain their P60 for their own records, or to:

• complete a Self Assessment tax return, if this applies to the employee
• claim back any Income Tax or National Insurance contributions they may have overpaid
• apply for tax credits

Please note, From the 2010-11 tax year onwards, a form P60 can now be provided to an employee either on paper or electronically. Before sending a P60 electronically, however, it is advised that an employer checks with an employee that they are happy to receive their P60 in this manner, in the event that an employee does not have the facility to access and print a copy securely.
