Some questions about P60 and P45 - please help

[electra]

I apologise in advance for my ignorance!!

Do you have these whether employed or self-employed?

If you left the UK would you need them in another country?

TIA......

These forms relate to employment and are given or sent to you by your employer so if you aren't employed you won't get them.

They are only relevant for UK tax.

Just in case you weren't sure what these tax forms are, a P60 is produced by an employer towards the end of April each year for each employee, and tells each employee how much they have been paid during the previous tax year and how much tax & NI they have paid.

A P45 is the form given by an employer to an employee who is leaving their employment. The information is almost the same as on a P60, but shows how much has been earned and tax paid in the current tax year rather than the previous tax year. The employee passes one part of the P45 on to their new employer so tax will be applied at the correct rate when the new employment starts.

With apologies if this is teaching you how to suck eggs.
