Can You Get a Replacement P60?

Updated:
March 23, 2026

You need to know how much you earned during the pay year. If the employer can't help you can contact HMRC or use their online service to access your records. With the pay amounts you can create a digital P60 or order printed documents using the button above.

If you’ve lost your P60, you might be wondering if you can simply request another copy. The answer is yes — but it depends on your situation and who still holds your records.

Here’s how to get a replacement P60 and what to do if you can’t.

Can You Get a Replacement P60?

You can request a replacement P60 from your employer if you were working for them on 5 April of that tax year.

Employers are allowed to reissue copies, although they may label them as:

  • Duplicate
  • Replacement
  • Copy P60

These are still valid for most official purposes.

Who Do You Contact?

You should contact your employer’s:

  • Payroll department
  • HR team

Most employers store P60s digitally, so replacements are usually quick to provide.

What Information You’ll Need

To request a replacement, you may need to confirm:

  • Full name
  • National Insurance number
  • Dates of employment
  • Employee reference number (if known)

Providing accurate details helps avoid delays.

What If You No Longer Work There?

You can still request a replacement P60 from a previous employer, as long as you were employed on 5 April of that tax year.

Employers are required to keep PAYE records for at least 3 years, often longer.

What If the Employer Has Closed?

If your employer no longer exists, you won’t be able to get a replacement P60 from them.

Instead, you can:

  • Access your income details through your HMRC account
  • Contact HMRC for confirmation of your earnings and tax
  • Create a copy online using income details from HMRC.

While this won’t be an official P60, it usually provides the same information.

Can HMRC Send You a Replacement P60?

HMRC does not issue replacement P60s.

However, they can confirm:

  • Total income
  • Tax paid
  • Employment history

This is often accepted by lenders and official bodies. If you need the information on the correct P60 documents use the button above for digital copies and printed items by post.

When You Might Need a Replacement

You may need a replacement P60 for:

  • Mortgage or loan applications
  • Renting a property
  • Tax checks or refunds
  • Benefit claims

Keeping a copy each year avoids needing to request one later.
