Initiate Year Document For Free

If you cannot get a P60 from your employer, you can either: use your personal tax account to view or print the information that would be on the P60. contact HM Revenue and Customs ( HMRC ) and ask for the information that would be on the P60.

A P45 is a form that an employer gives to their employee when they leave a job. It's a way of passing tax and payroll information from the old employer to the new employer and the employee for their own tax records.

In the United Kingdom, and formerly the Republic of Ireland, a P45 is the reference code of a document titled Details of employee leaving work. The term is used in British and Irish slang as a metonym for termination of employment. The equivalent slang term in the United States is "pink slip".

HMRC's reference for a P46 is an 'Employee without the form P45'. You will usually fill in a P46 if you start a new job and your last P45 is unavailable. The P46 tax form is important because it helps you pay the right amount of income tax.

You get a P45 when you leave employment and you complete a P46 when you start employment should you not have a P45 from a recent previous employer. Your P45 will show various pieces of information including your PAYE reference code and how much you earned and paid in tax during the tax year.

Your P45 will demonstrate to your new employer that you have paid taxes for the current tax year so they can determine whether or not you have been correctly taxed. Meanwhile, a P60 includes a breakdown of an employee's taxable income, taxes paid while employed, and employment history.

The starter declaration asks about previous/current employment or sources of income and about student loans.
