Employment Details

If you need to obtain missing P60 or P45 documents, Lewis Brownlee can help. With an agent’s authority in place (signed form 64-8), we can request this information from HMRC on your behalf. However, recent changes to HMRC’s process mean they no longer provide this information over the phone.

HMRC’s Updated Process for Missing Documents

Previously, HMRC could provide P60 or P45 details over the telephone. This is no longer the case. Now, when we request this information, HMRC will send the documents directly to the taxpayer by post. The taxpayer must then forward these to us for further processing.

This change highlights the importance of keeping personal tax records secure and accessible. However, if you misplace these critical documents, we’re here to guide you through the retrieval process.

What You Need to Provide

To authorise us to act on your behalf, you’ll need to sign a form 64-8. This grants us the agent’s authority required to make the request to HMRC. Once the authority is in place, we’ll handle the submission and ensure the process runs smoothly.

Why Is This Important?

Missing a P60 or P45 can delay your tax filing or other financial matters, such as loan applications or employment records. Having a trusted agent like Lewis Brownlee ensures the retrieval process is handled efficiently, saving you time and stress.
