If you are in business then you should kepp record for 6 years - for example you can be fined if you are registered for vat nd do not keep ALL records for 6 years. If you are employed or not employed, i.e. not self employed or have your own company then I would recommend up to 3 years. There are no reasons why the Inland Revenue will look at your records unless they query a tax return (if you are a higher rate tax payer for example that has to file a return). I would recommend 3 years though because you may need them for mortgage purposes (proof of address for last 3 years for example) and it may cost you a penny or two to get them printed out again by your bank.
