A P60 is a document showing your statement of earnings for the tax year. This is created at the start of the tax year (5th April, the 6th). If you are not employed by us at the time of year-end you will not have a P60 produced.

We use your P45 to correctly assign your tax code and stop the risk of you over/under paying tax. Your P45 is only eligible if it is dated past the 6th April of the tax year you are currently in and as long as it was your last employer. Do not worry if you don’t have a P45, our registration forms will ask you all the right questions to assign your tax code.

Yes, as an employee of an umbrella company, you will be eligible.

As long as this has been cleared by the client, you may need to discuss this with your hiring manager, we will be able to process expense payments.
