I seem to recall him saying just run all the reports that he needed a...

For many years I thought it was seven years (this is what my grandfather told me). Then I'm sure I read with VAT it was six years. PAYE says the P11s must be kept for at least three years (or longer if asked to). It was asked on another forum but hasn't been answered yet. I'm sure I even once read a bizarre repl...
