Getting your P60 from JPA or Defence Gateway
Where to find your P60 as a serving member of the Forces, and how to get one if it's from an older year or you've left.
Last checked against HMRC and MOD guidance on 13 November 2026.
Your P60 shows how much you were paid and how much tax you paid in a tax year. It's one of the main documents you'll need to claim a tax refund. Your employer has to give you one by 31 May if you're working for them on 5 April, on paper or electronically.[1] In the Forces, it's electronic, on JPA.
If you're serving
Log in to JPA and go to:
JPA Self Service – Employee, Armed Forces → Payroll Information → P60
Your P60 for the tax year just ended should be there by 31 May. Payslips are under JPA Self Service – Employee, Armed Forces → Payslip.
On your own phone or computer
If you have a Defence Gateway account, you can view your pay information from a personal device instead of the MOD network.[2][3]
Older years
P60s from before 2021–22 may not be available on JPA. If you need one, contact Defence Business Services, who can send a copy. You can use your National Insurance number to identify yourself if you've forgotten your memorable information.
If you've left the Forces
Your P45 is sent to the primary address held on JPA when you leave, so it's worth keeping that up to date before discharge.[2] For pay queries after you've left, MOD's Service leavers' guide gives Defence Business Services Military Personnel's number as 0800 085 3600.[2]
If you can't get a replacement P60, HMRC says you can use your personal tax account or the HMRC app to find the information that would have been on it, or contact HMRC.[1]
Sending it to us
A clear photo or screenshot on your phone is fine. Email it to us with your customer reference number. If you've lost one, tell us and we'll help you get the figures another way.
Which P60s do you need? One for each tax year you're claiming. Right now you can claim as far back as 2022–23, but that year closes on 5 April 2027. See the deadline.
