What is P60?

A P60 is a tax certificate that shows how much tax you have paid on your salary or certain benefits between 6th April to 5th April the following year.

A P60 is issued if you are employed on 5th April or in receipt of taxable benefits. It is important you keep your P60 safe as it can not, under normal circumstances be replaced, .

If the P60 does need to be changed, you should get a new P60 marked "replacement" and the replacement can be paper or electronic together with a letter confirming the change.
