to tell HMRC.

48. Solution to Avoid Common Mistakes
1. PAYE Office Reference Number used in place of PAYE Reference
Number;
2. P14 form template used instead of P60 to hand out to employees;
3. Hand out the correct P60 to the correct employee. Mistakes
happen when two employees have the same initial and surname;
4. Enter the correct National Insurance Numbers for all the
employees, otherwise the State Pension benefit will not accrue;
5. Ask the employee to confirm his/her current address, to ensure
the address on the P60 is correct. If P60 is to be posted out to the
employee then it will reach the correct address.
