P60

Does anyone know how to get a copy of their P60?

If it's like it is in England, you just wait for it. The company you work for has a certain amount of time to send them out (5 weeks or something).

You can usually ask your employer to get you a copy of yours if you've lost it. Though you really should lose or throw it away as it's quite an important document.

As said, it should be sent by your employer (normally at the start of the calendar year) to you directly. try posting in the soc --> work forum if you don't get a definitive answer.

You have to be employed at the 31st of December, if you started after that, or leave before that, you can only get a P45.

Your P60 is a record of your salary and tax contributions from the previous workining year. The work year runs from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, therefore, you should have received your P60 detailing last years information this January.
Most employers issue them with the first payslip of they year.
If you're in a larger company they pay dept. might not do this but you should still get it during January by rights.

A P45 is ONLY issued on termination of an employees employment.
It's a record of the employees salary paid to him/her to date and the tax payments made also.
New employers need a copy of this to request a new tax certificate from the Tax Office for their new employee on beginning employment with them.
* Tax Certificate = Document issued to the Pay Roll Dept from the Tax Office detailing the tax table, tax allowances and tax credits awarded to the new employee they are requestion the Cert for *

With regards to a new employee, Pay Roll Depts usually work from the information on the P45 while waiting for the new Tax Cert to be issued instead of putting the new employee on "emergency tax". (Although this is not always the case)
