What documents does the employer have to give me at the end of each tax year?

Shortly after the end of each tax year, that is 5th April, you will receive from your employer, on a form P 60, details of your earnings and tax paid in the tax year just ended.

This form will show:

• your total tax pay for the year
• the tax deducted
• your PAYE code number

If your employer pays you expenses or provides you with benefits in kind, the tax office may be given details of them. Where such details are provided to the tax office the employer must also give you a copy by 6th July each year after the end of the relevant tax year.

If you wish to check you have paid the correct tax you can look in the official tables, which your employer will have or, for example, at your local library.
