P45 - Sending electronically

I have just departed a business that sent out your P45 and payslips electronically and on arrival at my new post if find they send out P45 in paper form. I have searched HMRC and found nothing that suggests it cannot be done, however I understand that I may have responses that say data protection. Regardless I would be grateful for any information which states that this cannot be done.

Data protection covers both electronic/digital information along with paper records. It doesn't really matter how its done - as long as its secure as need be.

Hi David, I was probably not clear enough in my question but thank you for your reply. My question was is sending P45's by email a problem or wrong? Clearly the maintaining of data protection is the required in both forms.

Our payroll provider recently switched us to a portal so that employees could access their own payslips and P45s - they suggested that this would be complaint with GDPR. I have not challenged this as to be honest the new system works for us....We have previously sent them by post or electronically (password protected) normally with employee consent at the time to either method.
