3. P60

Your P60 shows the tax you鈥檝e paid on your salary in the tax year (6 April to 5 April). You get a separate P60 for each of your jobs every tax year.

There鈥檚 a separate guide to getting P60s if you鈥檙e an employer.

If you鈥檙e working for an employer on 5 April they must give you a P60. They must provide this by 31 May, on paper or electronically.

You鈥檒l need your P60 to prove how much tax you鈥檝e paid on your salary, for example:

  • to claim back overpaid tax
  • as proof of your income if you apply for a loan or a mortgage

You can check how much tax you paid last year if you think you might have paid too much.

If you do not have a P60

If you鈥檝e lost your P60, ask your employer for a replacement.

If you cannot get one from your employer, you can either:

4. P11D

Your employer might submit a P11D to tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if you get 鈥榖enefits in kind鈥� (for example a company car or interest-free loan).

Your employer may take the tax you owe on your benefits out of your pay. In that case, they will not need to submit a P11D. Your employer will write to you to explain how this works.

If you need your P11D details

You can ask your employer for a record of what they reported in the P11D, including how much each benefit is worth.

If they cannot give you one, you can contact HMRC.
