A significant 96% feel employers and employees would benefit from the inclusion of student loan and postgraduate loan plan types on P45 forms. Whereas 4% feel this will not be beneficial.

Some of the shared comments in the ‘Have your say’ box, stated that :

  • P45s should be abolished completely
  • P45’s are rarely received from employees and are usually before HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have sent a P6 notice
  • P45’s can be inaccurate, as they don't take into account payments after leaving
  • with real time information (RTI) there is a question to whether paper P45s are required anymore.

The CIPP policy team sit on the student loans consultation group and have shared these results with HM Revenue and Customs. From this valuable research, we hope that it can help shape future decisions. 

Your input really is appreciated, please keep taking part in our Quick Polls and continue to have your say.
