I think there will be problem. Although you may prove that you were economically active by bank statements/payslips but proving legitimacy of money earned is doubtful. What visa are you holding and check with accountant if there is a way to pay cumulative tax for all these years to be on safe side for ILR

If employer has deducted income tax/NI from your monthly pay but has not deposited that deducted amount to HMRC you and your ILR are safe and there would be no problem if salary was paid through bank and you have salary slips and P60.

However as a good character you should report it to HMRC

OP - if you have payslips and P60 that shows the wages, Paye tax and NI then you are on the safe side, if the Employer has not paid the monies to HMRC is between your employer and HMRC. If your employer had sent in the returns to HMRC, taxman will pursue the company for the unpaid bills,
but if the company issued you with fake P60's and and payslips with fake deductions then it is a serious matter for your employer and nothing to do with you.
What is your visa status / job status now?

Are you self-employed / working through your own limited company?

make sure of the following:

1. You have all your 60 Payslips.
2. All your 4 or 5 P60s
3. Bank statements for last 5 years which clearly show that the salary is being transferred to your bank account (that will be the Net Salary after deductions which must corroborate with your Net amounts on the payslips).
4. Contact the employer if possible
5. You should not have any problems with the ILR. Its not your fault.
