I have searched this topic myself and none of the thread has any clear answer. Contacting HMRC does not help - there are various rules.. particularly around secondment where HMRC has no detail - more true for cases till 3 years back..

The answer to your question is NO. Not only it is not mandatory, it is not even asked for nowadays. There was a time when ILR guidance demanded P60 as evidence and since then people are carrying this concpt.

However, since your case is different and you know you got it.. follow the advise and conatct HMRC and get one - will give you peace of mind.

I hope what you are saying is still relevant today. I am going to make an ILR application in just a few days & my previous employment was a secondment for which my previous employer has not given me any P60, P45 or Statement of earnings, only net figures shown on the payslips, no tax or NI contributions available on payslips.

HR mentioned that for MNCs to bring temporary staff to work for up to 3 years in the UK there were some exemptions provided by HMRC for NI & Income Tax. I don't have much details on these exemptions.

I showed these payslips to my solicitor & he did not see anything unusual with this. He mentioned many MNCs were allowed this till few years ago. Now entire pay needs to be paid in UK salary with tax & NI contributions reflected on the payslips.
