I know that you are not supposed to issue P60s for leavers and that Sage 50 Payroll omits these employees when printing these forms. However, what happens when an employee has left in Month 12 with a leaving date of 31st March 2015? They will not be receiving a P60 from a new employer as their next pay will be in the new tax year.
You must produce a P60 for every employee who is working for you on 5 April 2015.
Employees who left your employment before 5 April 2015 should not receive a P60 from you. Instead, their figures are submitted to HMRC via a P45 as part of your FPS for the period.
For full information on how to produce P60s at year end you can refer to Ask Sage article 11386:
Thanks Paul. I knew that HMRC would have the necessary information from the P45 details submitted but wondered how the employee would be able to confirm their earnings in the tax year to a third party, if necessary. Would their copy of their P45 suffice in this instance?
