Lost my P60 one year , the year I piled in the overtime and went into the supertax bracket (my only year ever) . Had to fill in the self assessment form and you need figures off the P60 to fill it in , phoned up the tax office to explain and asked if they had the details - they couldn`t give them to me , even if I visited (I only live 10minutes away) or even sacrificed my cat on an altar . My works Pay dept had had a redundancy , so they just told me to f` off . I`d left it to the last moment as per bloody usual , so the only thing I could do was umm....guess . Filled in the form and thought they`ll just correct it , umm.. wrong . Had a brown letter a few weeks later ....opened it and inside was a cheque for £56 , woooot .

Sometimes a jobs worth in the IR dept is a good thing :D

You were lucky
I couldn't find my P60 one year when they said I owed around £5k in tax. I couldn't give them the exact tax figure I had paid.
When I told them "you've obviously got the amount I paid, can't you just tell me" they said I'd have to get a duplicate. No options.

A month later I had a new P60, rang up and was just about to tell them the amount I'd paid when the bugger on the other end just told me.

To round it off, they still insisted I owed £5,315.32, but received unspecified rebates to the sum of £5,315.32. Strange...
