I have been recently made redundant and have not got my p45. Can you tell me do I need to collect this from my previous employer?

stephen - Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

when i received my p45 i only got part 1A, should i have received more parts than this ?

TaxFix - Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Hi Joe,

If you were made redundant you should have been given a P45 from your employer. You should ask your employer for this so that you can give your new employer the P45 or to make a tax refund claim.

TaxFix - Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Hi Steven,

P45′s normally come in 3 parts. You should give your new employer parts 2 and 3 and keep part 1A.

Phil - Sunday, May 16th, 2010

I am 62 and have recently resigned from my job, I do not intend to get another job, do I send my P45 to the inland revenue

TaxFix - Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Hi Phil,

If you loose your job or retire part way through the tax year, you will also certainly be able to claim a tax refund.

Each year we get a tax free allowance (currently £6,475) and this is usually evenly distributed throughout our wages. If you stop working part way through the year you do not get this full allowance.

If you want to make a claim you can either do this yourself but submitting your claim to your local tax office, with a covering letter, P91, P45 and P85/P86 if applicable.

Alternatively we offer a tax refund service where we complete all the relevant forms for you. You can use our service by going to:

I left a full tine job in dec 09, I started anew part time job in Feb, I now have started another part time job. I gave my p45 to the first part time job. What do i give my second job in the way of a p45?

Janet - Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I have recently filled out and returned an R27, the tax office are now asking for a P45.

Are P45′s only issued to people who leave their jobs and not to those who have passed away

TaxFix - Friday, May 21st, 2010

Hi Stacey,

If you get a second job you should automatically be put on a BR tax code. As you should be getting your tax free personal allowance on your first job, this would be the correct code and you would not need to give your second employer a P45.

TaxFix - Friday, May 21st, 2010

Janet: An employer should provide a P45 to a deceased person as well as any final wage payments. You should contact the employer and ask for one if one has not already been sent.

I left my job in october 2009 but still dont have my p45, who do i contact to get this.

TaxFix - Monday, May 24th, 2010

Anonymous: You should have been given a P45 when you finished working. What do you need the P45 for? If you require it for claiming a tax refund, you can write to your employer and ask for a ‘statement of earnings’ on company headed paper, this will act as a replacement. If you need the P45 to give to a new employer, you can use a P46.

alison - Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

I leave my job on 3rd june but my employer will not give me my p45 until 30th june, but I want it when I leave can they do this ?

I was made redundant as the company went into liquidation. I am not sure if I every recieved my P45, regardless, I can’t find it and I am applying for emplyment and support allowance. What can I do?
Thanks Helen

TaxFix - Sunday, May 30th, 2010

Helen: If you have lost or were not given a P45 and the company has gone into liquidation, it may be hard to get a replacement. You could use your wage slips from the time which may show the income and tax for the year.

What information do employers get from the P45? Do they use it to read your employment history and past wages?

TaxFix - Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Anonymous: They should use your P45 to determine what tax code to put you on. If you are worried that your employer may use past wage against you, you can always not give them your P45 and instead give it to your local tax office who will inform your new employer of the tax code to place you on.

Rachel - Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I finished work on the 29th of last month and then received my P45 on te 3rd of this month. My employer(M&S) stated that I owed them a small amount because my pay was in advance and I had missed a day last month. I do not remember ever being paid in advance but I accepted what they said. However, when I checked my P45 it showed my pay to date was for three months salary when I had only received two months salary this financial year on the 10th April and the 10th May. Do you think they have made a mistake?

TaxFix - Friday, June 11th, 2010

Rachel: It is hard for us to say if they have made a mistake without seeing any of the figures. I would check your P60 against your wage slips. You could also write to M&S and ask for a statement of earnings to reconcile your income. I hope this helps.

I started a job with a business for 3 weeks, but it turned out they were cowboys and only wanted me to steal my contacts. After being told they could not afford me, I googled the MD’s name and it turns out he is a crook!! I was meant to be paid on the 21st of June, along with expenses. I received an email stating they can delay my pay for 30 days as they are a company? Is this correct? I handed all of my equipment in on the day I was made redundant.

I started working for a temp agency and handed my notice in saying my last day would be the 14th June 2010, with any holiday I had accrued to be taken afterwards (which they told me to do). I then went on holiday and started a new permanent, full time job on the 5th July 2010. I noticed I hadn’t received my holiday pay or my P45 so contacted the agency who informed me that I should get my pay that week (week commencing Monday 5th July 2010) and my P45 would follow. I have now received my P45 and have realised that they have put my leaving date as the 9th July 2010! Is this going to affect my tax? As it seems that i had two jobs in the same week, when in actual fact I didn’t, it was the agencies fault for not sorting it out a lot sooner. Many thanks.

Hi,

Should a P45 state all the tax you’ve paid in an employment? so say you’ve been there 5 years, will the P45 state all the tax you’ve paid in those 5 years? and also your earnings in those 5 years?

Or is the P45 not for your entire employment but on a annual financial year basis? so only your last year will be stated on the form?

Many thanks.

My P45 only states the total tax & pay to date. Is this correct? Or should it state the total pay & tax in employment too?

My wifes Thai and has been working part time in a restaurant 15 hours a week since 8th February 2010, unfortunately this job has now come to an end. This is her first job in the UK so she didn’t have a P45 to give her employer at the start of her job, although she does hold a valid UK National Insurance card that has been produced and seen by her employer. Will she, or should she expect to get a P45 from this employer now she has finished working for them? She has also only received 2 wage slips from her employer in all this time working for them, and while both have her name on, they don’t show her National Insurance number. In fact i have been told that the number they show,(240877F), where her National Insurance should be, doesn’t relate to any know National Insurance number. I spoke to her employer on the phone three months ago about this and still no replacements or new wage slips have turned up. Some advice would be good. Just want to get this sorted now the job has ended so she can start looking for new employment.

tahera: You can ask your company for a statement of earnings on company headed paper which can be used as a replacement for a P45.

JDC Henderson - Friday, October 8th, 2010

I have now completely finished working (aged 71) do I send all three parts of my P45 to the Inland Revenue?

TaxFix - Friday, October 8th, 2010

JDC Henderson: Keep part 1 for your own records and send them part 2 and 3.

Stephen Peel - Monday, October 11th, 2010

I was told in a meeting on 8 September 2010 That my employment was terminated due to incapability.

I was told that I would now start 5 weeks notice as I have been with the company for 5 years.

I have today 11 October 2010 received my P45 which is less than the 5 weeks notice. The P45 also states that I stopped working for my employer on 8 September 2010.

I have had no notice pay since I was terminated, and want some advice on this.

Thank You

Is there any chance to get tax refund with P60 and payslips but without P45?
Many Thanks

TaxFix - Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Stephen Peel: I am sorry to hear about your job. At the end of the tax year (April 2011) you may be able to claim a tax refund. Keep your P45 safe and at the end of the tax year you can make a claim.

TaxFix - Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Mike: If you have a P60 we can still make a claim for you, we can obtain your lost P45 by writing to your employer. You can apply for our tax rebate service here.

if an employee has been issued a P45 in one tax year and is then paid holiday money therefore increasing their gross pay and tax paid can a revised P45 be issued to the employee and to HMRC?

Amy - Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Can i start a part time job at 15 years and 6 months old with out a p45?

anonymus - Thursday, October 21st, 2010

After been made redundant I found a temp job through an agency. The temp contract ended and I started receiveing job seeekers. The job centre never asked me for MY p45 so they never received it, meaning they didnt have details of my tax history. When i found a new job I received a p45 from job seekers which means I now have 2 P45′s and I dont know which to give to my new employer. The tax office are saying send them both in to them. Help?

TaxFix - Friday, October 22nd, 2010

anonymus: I would do as the tax office advise.

bev - Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

TaxFix - Monday, October 25th, 2010

Lada - Monday, October 25th, 2010

Hello, I have only worked in the UK for 6 months and I am now leaving permanently. I have overall contributed less than £4,000 in tax – will I get these back in full considering it’s below the £6,475 personal allowance granted for 2010/11? Thanks in advance for your help.

Margaret - Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

My son-in-law left his last employment about 2 months ago and is still waiting for the employers to give him his P45.
What can he do about it

TaxFix - Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

Lada: If you are leaving the UK permanently you will be able to claim a tax rebate. When you stop working you will be given a P45, and you will then be able to make your claim. The personal allowance of £6,475 refers to the amount that you can earn before you need to pay any tax, not the amount of tax. The amount of your tax refund will depend on how much you have earned and how much you have paid in the tax year.

TaxFix - Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

Margaret: He can use a P46 if he is not given a P45.

Andrew Bell - Sunday, October 31st, 2010

I had a letter from the Tax office saying I owe £1138 which was under paid in the year 2008/2009. I had 2 jobs at that time. I paid tax for one job. I work for the NHS and find it hard to believe they could make such a mistake. At the end of march 2008 I was moved to the primary care trust so had to be giving my P45 even though I am still been paid the same. If the tax office was not notified they may think I am working for the NHS and PCT, is this possible?

TaxFix - Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Andrew Bell: You can contact the tax office, and ask them how they came up with the under payment calculation, you can then compare this to your own working to see if they are correct.

sue - Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

i stopped working for my old employer on the 1st october 2010 and they still have not given me my p45 what can i do.i have asked severel times and still no luck

TaxFix - Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Sue: What do you need the P45 for? If it is to give to a new employer, you can use a P46 instead. If it is for claiming a tax rebate, you can ask for a statement of earnings on company headed paper.

ray malin - Thursday, November 4th, 2010

having completed a 51 week temporary assgnmnt ( it was extended from 26 weeks) i have now come to end of the contract,
i was working for a public body that ran its own in house staffing agency

there are no more assignments due to a stop on recruitment due to budget

i have completed assignment , and ~~assuned ## upon completion as there are no more assignments i would receive my p45 with my final paycheck
i have recde paycheck ( 3 wks late) but no p 45 on ? this i was advised i need to put my request in writing to them to send a p45 as i am ”still on the books”
there are no assignments so i was wondering can they hold my p45?
does my request foe it mean that i have requested to be off the books and therefore resigned?? and will it effect any benefits

seems strange to me

main ? i suppose is do i really need my p45

many thanks

regardsw

TaxFix - Monday, November 8th, 2010

Paul: Normally you do not need to inform anyway as your employer will put you through their payroll system.

TaxFix - Monday, November 8th, 2010

Kate: If your employer does not give you a P45 you can always use a P46 instead: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/p46.pdf

gemma - Monday, November 8th, 2010

hi was just wondering if you could help me, i was working 2 jobs 1 main job and just a little weekend job! I have now left both and started work with a new employer, do i need to give both my p45′s to my new employer or just the p45 from my main job? Any help would be great!

Evelyn - Thursday, November 11th, 2010

My son has worked for a large chain of pubs for 6 years while studying at 6th form and then while on holidays from uni. He hasn’t worked for them in the last20 weeks so they have automatically sent him his P45 with no letter or note. Are they allowed to do this?

TaxFix - Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Evelyn: If they sent him his P45 that implies that they no longer have him working for the company. Can they legally fire him? That depends on his contract and employment law.

raja - Friday, November 12th, 2010

Hi mate i recently left an agency to go permanent. i requested the p45 two weeks ago and have yet to receive it. in addition to this i had holiday entitlement which was owed. is there a law which stipulates a time frame within which the agency have to generate the p45 and pay any holiday owed?

Thanks in advance.

TaxFix - Monday, November 15th, 2010

raja: If you were not given a P45 and need one for your new employer, you can always give them a P46.

charlene - Monday, November 22nd, 2010

I handed my notice in at my second job and have now been given my p45, who do i have to inform and do i have to send my p45 off?

Mark - Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

I have been out of work for more than a year. An old friend offered me help providing references, even though I never worked for her company. These useful references helped me to get on track again and I finally found a new job. My current employer asked me to provide them with a P45. Actually, I have applied for job seeker allowance when I was out of work and, as soon as I started working again, I signed off. I have received a P45 from the HMRC regarding the job seeker allowance I have received for that period, but I do not want to give it to my new employer, otherwise they might easily realise that I wasn’t working. As I’d like to avoid being overtaxed (I received my first salary and noticed a BR code in it and ended up paying roughly 10% more than usual) would it be safe to ask my new employer to provide me with a P46 and fill it out? Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Mark

Roberta - Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Hi,

I left my previous company and a week later they went into administration. Even though I left a week prior will I still receive my P45? I haven’t received it yet and they only went under last week.

Thanks

Roberta

TaxFix - Friday, November 26th, 2010

Clare Davies: If your daughter has earn and paid tax with the employer, she should be given a P45. Does she need the P45 for a new job?

Rachel - Friday, December 3rd, 2010

How long can an employer keep ones P45 for after you have left their employment?

I’m working overseas in a non-taxable area (Saudi Arabia.) HMRC have returned my P45 asking for parts 2 and 3, which I didn’t send. I have dug out part 2 but don’t have part 3 as my employer is in Saudi and doesn’t deal with any tax issues – what should I send back?

Is there anyway the Inland Revenue can send a letter to obtain this for me as stated left on very bad terms

Scott

TaxFix - Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Scott Rush: No, the Inland Revenue can not write to your employer to get this. What do you need the P45 for, is it for a new employer or to claim a tax rebate?

Scott Rush - Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Self employed now so need it for tax returns

Andrew Stephens  - Friday, December 10th, 2010

Hello,

I was made redundant and received a P45 at the end of September and signed on for JSA.I have a new job ready to start in January.

I do not want my new employer to know about my period of unemployment (call it stupid male pride!)

Is the best thing for me to hand my P45 to my local tax office? thus meaning my new employer will not be aware of my period of unemployment?

I would appreciate your thoughts.
Many Thanks and Regards,Andrew

TaxFix - Friday, December 10th, 2010

Andrew Stephens: If you do not have or want to give a P45 to your new employer, you could use a P46 instead:

Ismael  - Sunday, January 9th, 2011

Hello,

I am here today cause I have a big problem.

I worked in an ice restaurant in Leicester Square from December 2008 to December 2010. ( payslips availables)

During that 2 years I’ve never applied for an Insurance Number.

Too busy, mind somewhere else…

Today I am in Sydney and I would like to get my taxes back.

I already got my P60.

But the P45 is missing.

When I left London, everything was ok between my manager and me.

But when I called him recently, He told me that he couldn’t get it cause i don’t have Insurance Number.

He also added, he could get a 10 000 pound fine cause of that.

I’m desperate. I don’t know what to do.

Can I claim ny tax back without Insurance Number?

This money will be projects, dreams, everything for me.

I already know my manager is not honest and doesn’t care about my taxes.

I hope you can help me.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Ismael Fichou

Anjune - Monday, January 10th, 2011

I started work in august 2010 when I was on summer holiday and was working full time for 2 months until my uni started and had to decrease my hours. Since my manager was new he put wrong tax code and they deducted quite a lot of tax from me. I had my name on the rota for a sunday shift (the store was to close on next day and i was to transfer to new store) but they closed 5 days early and didnot even inform me. When i called they said you dont need to come on sunday. I tried to contact my manager (who now was shifted to different store) and he said i was working at other store when i called there they siad there was no vacancies there as i only worked weekends on term-times after they didnot call me back for a month i decided to quit. I called my manager and told him i want my p45 and would like to quit. He said ok. 3 months later no p45, I dont know what to do i had over 200 pounds over paid tax. I dont have nay job currently (being a student) i tried to contact my former manager he ignores me -_- how do i get my tax refund?? -thank you

Hello,
I used to work two jobs Habitat/ Willis & Gambier after while I decided to go only with one. I did have my tax split according with the earnings. After I left one place Habitat I wanted to sort my tax with my remaining employer Willis & Gambier as this is the only income. Unfortunately I have not received P45 neither my last pay slip from the Habitat. I contacted them personally even try to write letter it didn’t help. I tried other approach I speak to HR in Willis & Gambier and she advised me there is nothing that she can do until I obtain P45 from Habitat.
What can I do?
Thank you

I left my job after a short time last November. They say I have been overpaid but have still not given me exact details, I have returned some of the money but have now received a P45 with the original pay details on and not including the amount repaid, they say they are looking into this but can I request an amended P45 whenever they do decide to give me the correct information?

Kate - Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

My husband recently left his job giving only one days notice. The employer refused to pay his last weeks wages in lieu of notice, fair enough. He has just been sent his P45 after 6 weeks waiting along with his last weeks payslip and one for the final monday he worked. His P45 shows these payments as part of his final earnings but he never received the money. Weekly wages were paid via BACS and nothing has gone into his account. We claim Tax Credits and now our actual income is different from what the P45 states. Can the employer do this?

peter - Saturday, February 5th, 2011

I left a job a week ago as i did not like it there, however i also left this employer of my cv. Now i have got a new job and they require my p45 which has my last employer on which i have not told them about. What can i do would it be best before i start my new job to get a temp position as then the p45 would come from the agency. Can anybody help

I have been on a working holiday visa for close to two years now, I did not claim tax back for the previous financial year, is it possible to still do that or can I only do my tax for this year?

Caron  - Sunday, March 13th, 2011

Hi,

I worked for a company for around 2 weeks and was dismissed, unfairy but was unable to do anything about it as I was only there for a short period of time. I have just been employed and am going through all the application and forms and its asking if I have ever been dismissed ….I have failed to mention mention this and failed to put it on my cv. My question is will my new employer find out this and should I rather just let them know. I am nervous as they might reconsider my new position with the company….confused and stressed…

Tam - Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

I receive a pension from the MOD and declared it at the JC. I was not eligible for JSA but I continued to sign on for NI credits. When I found a job I gave my new employer the P45 I received from the JC, he was also aware I had a pension. Who was responcible for telling my employer that I should be on tax code BR. JC, HMRC, MOD or myself

David Oliver - Thursday, March 24th, 2011

My employer may have lost my P46 and then a P45 from my previous employer. I am trying to discover if this ‘loss’ is in any way a breach of the Data Protection Act. Can your proffer any advice or signpost me to someone who can.

Louise - Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

I am to be Redundant on 31/3/11 and pay in lieu of notice for 8 weeks to be paid in this month’s salary (taxable as per my contract)

As it is the end of the financial year, this takes my earnings for the year OVER the allowed rate for my Working Tax Credit claim – will this now be classed as an overpayment and result in me having to pay the entire year’s tax credits back please? The amount is £27/week and if I do have to pay it back, it will wipe out my entire 8 weeks pay in lieu of notice! Please help.

Stephen Hancock - Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

I am currently woking for a company, which has just merged with another copmany and the head office is moving from Pontypool to Essex, and therefore another tax code.

My employer wants to issue me with a P45,however they claim that my service of 22 years will remnain continous.

Is this correct? I thought that a P45 means a notofication of redundancy ?

Anonymouse - Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

I used to work between March 21st and December 4th 2008 but due to lack of knowledge I haven’t claimed my tax refund yet. My former employers have sent my P45 but they were lost. So, can I claim it now? if yes, how?
Thanks

Hi, I have been self – employed for 4 years and I have had to terminate it. I notified the HMRC in march and my accountant has notified the Tax man. I have just started a new job today which is PAYE and my new employer has e-mailed me asking for me to bring in my P45. Due to my circumstances will I actually get a P45 or if not, what should I say to my new employer?
Thanks

I have sent parts 1 but can anyone tell me if I can get parts 2 and 3 back off employers and if not will parts 1 be enough information for them.

I started a new job 6 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for my P45 from my previous employer. How long does it normally take to receive a P45 and is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

Jimmy - Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

I am finishing with my current employer on Friday. I am currently paid monthly and have been told that I won’t get my P45 until the last day of the month when I’m paid. However I start with a new firm on Monday. Will this cause me any problems?

Aidan - Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

I am a student and have worked for 3 years. I am looking to get a tax refund for each year I have the relevant documents for the most recent years but for the year 2008/2009 I do not remember receiving a P45. Would I be able to use my last payslip for that year as an indicator for them to workout my tax refund?

Jess - Thursday, April 21st, 2011

I got my P45 through today but am still waiting for my last pay (being sent to me as a cash cheque) but my p45 shows that my total earnings are £0.00, i have some of my payslips and all my bank statements showing my wages coming in weekly. Why have they put my total earnings and tax down as 0?
Help! xx

Sally - Friday, April 22nd, 2011

I started a job in November 2010 and left in February 2011 without working notice. I was warned about the legal executive I worked for at the interview. I have the P45 from this firm. I know I will not be provided with a reference as I emailed them and asked. Can I omit this job from my CV without my next employer finding out that I worked there, if I say I don’t have a P45 and complete a P60?

Heidi - Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Hi,

I came back from travelling last year in April and started working at a restaurant in the beginning of May. I then got a new job in mid-June but my manager at the restaurant asked me not to resign so I could still continue doing some shifts there, so I didn’t ask for my P45.

However, I only started doing shifts at the restaurant again after I left my other job in mid-October. I then started a new job in the beginning of November and carried on doing a few shifts at the restaurant until mid-December.

I stupidly didn’t ask for my P45 until January and didn’t realise I’d have to send it to the tax office to get my tax code changed (I’m on BR), so I have been overpaying tax. I’m now planning to reclaim the tax and had a look at my P45 from the restaurant and realised that the leaving date is wrong: they have put 15/05/2010 on it when technically I only left in December.

Can you please tell me how this will affect my tax reclaim? Am I able to get a refund only for the tax I’ve overpaid since December even though I didn’t work any shifts at the restaurant between mid-June and mid-October? What should I do now?

Kay - Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

i have been on the sick since june 2010 due to illness and i was due to go back any time now, the thindg is my work place has offered us all voluntary redundacy. if i decide to take this option will i still be entitled to holiday pay as i haven’t been there for nearly a year?

Ellie - Friday, April 29th, 2011

I recently started a new casual-work job. They never asked for my P45 and I forgot to give it to them. I have been paid for the shifts I have done since starting, so am confused as to how they can have paid me without my P45? I asked a friend and he said that because I wrote my NI number down on my application form they can get the information they need from there…is this true? or will i be emergency taxed?

Hope - Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

I have only worked in the UK for 4weeks on contract in November 2010 and was given a tax code 647L and ever since no other job, but just got a new one now to start May 2011. Will my tax code change and should i submit my P45 or just use P46. Thanks

justin baker - Saturday, May 7th, 2011

i have been paid via paye for at least 6 years until last year when i became self employed at the beginning of the 2010 2011 financial year. in my early stages of employment i was on various emergeny tax codes and have never received a rebate? i beleive this is because when i was 18 i registered as self employed (partnership) for a business venture which never got off the ground. i subsequently cancelled this with the inland revenue but they say they have no record of this, i then began an apprenticeship paid paye and carried this through until april 2010 when i became a self employed electrician. i have called the inland revenue numerous times but seem to be going in circles. i also do not have many p45s/statement of earnigs. i have typed the figures that i do have into a rebate calculators going back 6 years and it shows i am entitle to rebates for each of the last 6 years, would you be able to help

Roy Brown - Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

E Donovan - Thursday, May 12th, 2011

If an employee breaches their contract by not turning up to work and not working notice does the employer have to e mail/send the P45 or is it legal to advise the P45 is ready for collection by the former staff member?
Many thanks

Louise - Saturday, May 14th, 2011

I left my last company in October 2010 and then spent 3 months in Australia. A month after my return to the UK I formed a Limited company and am now freelancing on a 3 month contract.
I have 2 questions: 1) can I claim back tax of any sort for the 4 months I wasn’t working? 2) do I need to fill in Part 3 of P45?

Jim - Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Hi my employee left work and has not come back I have contacted him on several occasions and have not had any reply for 3 weeks. It is pay day today and he text me and asked if I am paying him. Do I have to pay as no notice given and no letter handed in or any form of contact until today?

Gill - Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

I was made redundant at the end of march.After contacting my former employer several times requesting my p45 and redundancy pay,still no joy.All her response has been is to fob me off with ‘it’ll be next week’.Is there anything else i can do apart from wait it out?

SF - Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Hi,

my employer has given me a p60 on a blank page instead of revenue stationary – will this cause me problems when I am asked to produce my P60 for a bank etc.. especially if I need to prove my earnings in another EU country?

Thanks!

james - Saturday, May 21st, 2011

I left my job over one month ago. Two weeks ago I went back there to ask for my p45 as I had not recieved it. I have still not recieved it. You say it is unlawful not to give out a p45. What are my options.

Niall - Saturday, May 21st, 2011

I got my P45 from my last employer but under total pay to date and total tax to date it says £0 but i have my pay slips and records on my bank statements showing I was paid. Why does it say £0 and will I still get my tax rebate?
Thanks

billy - Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

my boss failed to pay my tax even tho it was taken from my wages. i didnt know until i had a bill from national insurance which my boss also failed to pay on my behalf. i no longer work for this employer but he failed to provide me with a p60 and im not sure if the p45 is fake. i think some of my wage slip are fake. the tax office are aware but after 6 months have done nothing. will i end up liable for this huge payment of tax and NI even though i have my wage slips that show the money was taken

Karen - Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

The place I work has been sold from one company to another company,we have been told that our contracts will stay the same, and that our continuous employment record would not be affected, yet we have also had a letter to say that we will be getting our p45 with the last wage slip from the old company, so am a bit uncertain about it, can you clarify this please

vaughan 24may - Thursday, May 26th, 2011

I was finished from my job in november 2010.Despite asking several times for my p45 my previous employer said it has been lost as she was moving.I have an interview for a job next week and am worried I will be turned down if I cannot produce my p45.I have my page.

loz - Saturday, May 28th, 2011

I have been unemployed for a year but have now got a job will my p45 show the last day i worked for a employer or the last day of unemployment benefit

Darren - Sunday, May 29th, 2011

I work for a company as a casual, every time I work for them they ask me to fill in a P46, I didn’t receive any P60 from them, but then asked them for either a P60 or P45 (as I needed it for my tax return) and they were quite nasty about it and told me that I had to ask for one if I wanted one after I’d done an event with them. They did issue a P45. I thought though the employer was supposed to legal issue a P45 automatically without having the employee request it every time?

Steve - Monday, May 30th, 2011

My previous employer is being a real dick, as I left and took him to a Tribunal (which later collapsed). he’s not telling the tax man my details, and even though I got a small rebate from them last year, they have now got me on emergency tax in my new employment. I earn a low wage, so cant afford to do without this money (which my old boss knows and is using as a means to ‘punish’ me for dissent). How can I get off this code and recieve my allowances from the Inland Revenue?

Margaret - Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

kevin - Monday, June 6th, 2011

My last working day for my former employer was 3/5/2011. Yet they put on my p 45 that my leaving date was 13/5/2011. Surely that can’t be right ?.

Patricia Tynan - Thursday, June 9th, 2011

My employer had 3 companies; I have been made redundent from one and offered a job in another, which I have accepted. They say my 26 years service remains continuous and my terms and conditions won’t change, should I have received my P45? will it affect my continuous service or their right to dismiss/make me redundant???

Ciara - Sunday, June 12th, 2011

Julie - Saturday, June 18th, 2011

My daughter works part time. She has a casual contract with one company (which is a football stadium & so the work is seasonal) and now she has just got another casual contract job with a restaurant to work at on weekends through the summer. They have given her a P46. I guess she needs to tick the box saying she has another job – but does that mean she will get taxed in full for this waitressing job? Should we see about splitting the tax code and if so how do we go about that? I don’t think she will earn anywhere near the allowance but from past experience it’s a nightmare trying to get any tax paid refunded so would rather she didn’t have to pay it in the first place! I would welcome your advice. Many thanks.

When joining a new employer is there a legal time limit for that new employer to submit your P45 to HMRC?

Dave - Friday, June 24th, 2011

Hi there,

I left my job in August last year and have not had any income since so presumably am due a tax rebate. However, I am about to start a new job. Will I receive the rebate automatically if I hand my P45 in to my new employer? If not how do I claim?

Eileen - Friday, June 24th, 2011

I recently left a job and received a P45, as I should have done. The company had not paid me for outstanding holiday pay and they paid it to me when I queried it. That’s OK – but they issued a further P45 showing BR tax code. I know it’s correct that they should deduct basic rate tax, as I will carry on getting tax free allowance at my new employer. The question is: should they have issued a second P45? I know the gross pay and tax notified to HMRC at the tax year end will be brought together by the year end documents submitted by both at that time. Issuing a 2nd P45 could (and did) cause confusion. Is it in the rules they should do it that way?

adam west - Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

In January I was dismissed from the prison service due to health issues. The prison service paid me compensation but have not sent bme my p45 despite me asking many times.

I am trying to claim the tax back on my compensation and again without a p45 I have been told I cant

Andy - Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

I have recently been forced to resign from my job because my employer harassed me sexually. I have since brought an ET claim against him. This was over two months ago, but I have yet to receive a P45. I think my former employer is trying to claim I worked for a different company and therefore cannot claim against his company.

Is it possible for an employer to legitimately change the name of the company of employment on an employee’s P45?

sabine - Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

I was working for a company for about 6 months and then i had an operation. i had to take 6 weeks off work. i told the company about this and they seemed fine but while i was off they sent me a p45. is this illegal? they also still owe me one weeks pay in advance which i doubt i am going to see as it was about 3 months ago. what would be the best way to claim and do you think they owe me more as the refused to give me sick pay.

Lucy - Friday, August 26th, 2011

hi,
I left my last job over a year ago and am a student. I’ve just started a new job and they have asked me for a p45 which I never received off my old employer, is it too late to ask for a p45 from my old employer now?

Tax Fix - Friday, August 26th, 2011

@Lucy

Your employer should automatically give you a P45 when you stop working for them. If not, ask for it – you’re entitled to it by law.

Tax Fix - Friday, August 26th, 2011

@Richard Norris

Yes. I don’t think there’s anything to stop you taking this money if it is offered.

Rachel - Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Hello,

I graduated 2 months ago and I always held a part time job whilst being a full time student. This job finished a couple of months ago, and I have been on JSA for the last month, but I start a new job next week. My previous employers have been extremely unhelpful and refuse to give me a P45. Does this mean I will be on emergency tax at my new job? Or does the recent claiming of jobseekers allowance and the fact that I recently graduated make any difference?

neil - Friday, September 2nd, 2011

Hi,
I left my job a couple of weeks ago and have received my last wage slip and P45 but the amount of tax paid are both diffrent on each document. The P45 states the tax i had paid so far from my 2nd to last wage slip. As my P45 is wrong would i need to let anyone know when sending off for a tax refund?

Shona - Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Hi
I was working part time for a company for 2 years and went on maternity leave about 20 months ago. I have never returned, and really have no plans to do so.

They have assumed that I am no longer employed – should they legally have to terminate my employment by way of paying me my Pay in Lieu of notice and also by issuing me with a P45?

Thanks

I will start start a new job in the next few weeks with a new company.I have been on SSP with my previous company for a few months,will my new boss find out via my P45 or P60 that i have been on the sick.

Daniel M - Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

The company I worked for has just been wound up by HMRC.

Having spoken to HMRC they apparently have no record of me working for the company. I am due a tax refund but because I wasn’t provided with a P45 or P60 at last year end. I am trying to obtain a “statement of earnings” from the liquidator but he has not been given any company records (despite it being 2.5 months since the order for the company to be wound up). I wonder is the company an agent for HMRC? If so, and I prove how much has been deducted in an employment tribunal, will HMRC recognise this instead of a statement of earnings?

julie - Saturday, October 8th, 2011

heather - Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

Hi I wandered if I could get some advice. I have quite a complicated situation so anything you can help me with would be much appreciated. Basically I handed in my notice at work a couple months ago(wasn’t given a p45) now they have asked me to come back and work for a few weeks to help out so I said ok. I lied and said I was leaving to start university (I needed a good excuse to leave as my boss is not very nice or understanding) I have found another job for now as I am actually going to uni in september 2012 and need something to tie me over. When I asked my boss for a P45 to start my new job she said as I was a student I needed a different type of P45 and she would discuss it with the practice’s accountant so I don’t get taxed – obviously she doesn’t know I’m not going to be a student. What do I do? I just want her to issue me with a normal P45 so I can start my new job with no complications. Also my boss wants me to come in from time to time when they are short staffed, meaning I wouldn’t even get taken off the pay roll. Please help

Cameron Nimmo - Saturday, October 29th, 2011

The company i work have taken me off the books after 4 months of employment and asked me to go self employed, i have recieved only 1 monthly pay slip which appeared to be an a4 print out containing the emergency tax code (747L) but £0 tax deducted and £30 national insurance deduction. As for the other 3 months pay slips they are becoming increasingly hard to get as im given excuses like the accountant hasnt e-mailed them. Am i being hoodwinked and shouldnt i have been taxed. also i was not asked for and nor have i recieved a P45. this was 2 months ago now.

Payday is usually on last day of the month with payment up to and including the 20th of each month. I started on 6th October 2011 and was dismissed on 1st November 2011. I have been paid up to 20th October, but they do not want to pay me the remaining wages until the end of the month of November just like all the other employees. Can they do this or should they have paid me out entirely when I was dismissed?

They say that they are keeping everyone on but we will recieve P45′s then get new contracts. Is this normal practice? do I keep my continuous employment rights? Am I officially being made redundent and being reempolyed?, thus due my redundency paymnet? Would this be covered by TUPE?

John W - Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

I am due to be paid paid off at end November following my employer breaching my contract. As part of the settlement I will be getting a lump sum.

I understand the first £30k is taxable but anything above is subject to tax. If the payment is deferred to April 2012 is this supposed to go on my 11/12 tax return or 12/13? Does it matter when the P45 is issued?

Getting on the right tax code - Monday, December 5th, 2011

I had two jobs…my first job i was on the correct 747l tax code and my second job on the BR tax code.
I’ve now left my first job so how do I go about getting my 2nd and only job onto the correct 747l (or whatever) tax code?
Do I have to wait for my p45 from my previous employer and give it to my other employers?
Just worried about waiting for it and still being taxed wrong then having to go through all the faff of getting a tax refund. ( i had to do this years ago but i can’t for the life of me remember what to do- just remember visiting the tax office several times!)
Hope someone can help

Hi there, I’m a full-time university student recently got a part-time job and I’m being taxed way too much. For example my first weekly earnings were £98 something and I was taxed just under £20! I spoke to my employer and they asked for my P45 from my previous employer, which I gave them. That was about a month ago, and I am still being taxed the same amount. What do I need to do to sort it out, I know students are exempt from tax below a certain amount, I think its £125 a week. I’m paying tax on £98! Help please.

Claire - Friday, January 6th, 2012

I began work for a company in June 2010, before discovering that I was pregnant. Unable to get Maternity Pay (having not worked there long enough) I claimed Maternity Allowance. I left December 31st 2010 to go on maternity leave. I was shocked to receive my P45 through the post with a leave date of 31st Dec. I contacted CAB and then my employer and they said it was just a mistake and they would be expecting me to work in Jan 2012. I informed them In October 2011 that I would not be returning to work once my Maternity leave ended. I asked them for a P45 with the CORRECT leave date on (which I believe should be October 2011 or January 2012, depending weather they put me down for extended Mat leave) and was told that I couldn’t get another P45 as the one dated 31st Dec had been sent to the tax office.
I was under the impression I was still classed as a member of staff during my ‘maternity leave’ and so should have a P45 with a later date (as mentioned above)? Also should I not have been accruing annual leave whilst on Mat leave? Who do I contact about this?
Thanks

I started a full time job last March and the correct tax code was applied. I then started a second job last June and completed a P46 form for the second job and a tax code of BR was applied. I left the job which I started last March last November and now have received the P45 from them ie Parts 1A,2 and 3.I have contacted my Tax Office and asked them to change my tax code from BR to the correct tax allowance code for my second and now only job which they have agreed to do. What should I do with Parts 2 and 3 of the P45 form or do I need to do anything with them as the Tax office has all the information already?

Ive been sent a self assesment tax form to complete even though my employer pays my tax. The Tax office say it’s because I’ve told them I’ve earned over the threshold of my tips as a waitress which I haven’t. The tax office said they cannot retract the form once it’s been requested and I still have to fill it in. I’ve asked the tax office what i need to do and they say they need to know how i’ve earn and how much tax I’ve paid even though they have already sent me this info. I don’t know what it is they want from me or what i need to fill in

My husband and I just started claiming JSA as a joint claim on 12/12/2011 and the job centre sent me my P45 with the date benefit ceased as the same date, they didn’t send me a letter explaining why, and because of this I am now totally confused as to why they would send me this and not my husband. Could you please shed some light on this for me?

Sonia - Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Hi,

I am going to be made economically redundant and will be returning to France.

Anonymous - Sunday, January 29th, 2012

I left my job in May 2010 and satrted a new job.My old employer gave me a p45 but then issued another payment for commission outstanding that is not on the P45. How do I show this on my tax return.Can I add both figures for pay and both for tax or should it be shown seperately?

MJ - Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

My current employers business has just been bought out by a bigger company and we have all been given our P45s. The company say that this is because of the change of ownership but also state that we do not have to sign new contracts as these will carry over. Is this correct or am I right in thinking that a P45 ends my current contract?

Emily Leanord - Friday, February 3rd, 2012

I took redudancy and received my P45 (and all the relevant parts). I decided to claim jobseekers allowance and gave them parts 2 and 3 (and I held on to my part 1A). Only a month down the line and I now have a perm job and therefore only have my part of the P45. Is that ok? Do I need to complete a P46 since I have none of the other parts that my new employers require??

mp - Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

I was recently dismissed and am appealing. My dismissal date was the 23rd but my p45 says I left on the 22nd. Is this right? or have I been dismissed before my dismissal date?

Howard - Thursday, February 9th, 2012

How long should it take DWP to forward a P45. I have started a new job after claiming JSA but finding it impossible to speak to someone. I have been ‘signed off’.

I have been out of work for 6 years up until the 3 feb when i started working, i had been on income support for that period, they said that my p45 would be sent out to me, ive waited and nothing just worried about the emergency tax as have been told that its likely they will take too much, upon this i found my old p45 ,is this still valid or would i need a new one

Dean - Friday, February 17th, 2012

I have been trying to get a P45 from my previous employer since late December 2011 with no success.
His latest excuse is that there is a shortage of P45 forms and they are waiting for them to arrive. Does not sound correct to me. Could it be true?
I am now thinking it best just to complete a P46 and move on.

I was made redundant after the business went bust and my employer gave everyone a p45 except me. I asked him about it and he said he just hadn’t received one for me, but i asked him to get one for me and he said he had spoke to someone from HMRC and they said I didn’t need one as i am a student, but other people i worked with were students and they got their p45 with no trouble. He wont do anything about it, what can i do??
I don’t have a new job yet but what do i do when i get one? PLEASE HELP! Thank you

Can I claim back charges on a tax charge from a few years ago?

Troy Joyner - Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

I and many others at work today have been sent a HR communication regarding consolidation of all payroll services going into one. the following statement from my letter states,

‘Some of you may also find enclosed a blank form P45 Part 1A if as a consequence of the recent change to “One Payroll” you have changed employer. This was mentioned in the connect “One Payroll Communication” of 3 April 2012, and is purely for administrative reasons following the transfer of your employer for PAYE purposes’

My P45 Part 1A is not blank. in section 4 (leaving date) it is completed as 31.03.2012. all my other details are also completed. My question is, should this form be blank, if as stated in my letter it should be?
If so, do I need to get it amended?
What would happen if I was made redundant within next 12 months? My previous 5 years employment looks like it ended on 31.03.2012?
Please advise.

David Caswell - Sunday, June 24th, 2012

Would a person employed by the state be paid if they did not first submit a P45 from a previous employer? If they were paid, for how long would this continue, before the state employer demanded a P45 be handed in?

Scot - Wednesday, June 27th, 2012

My employer is changing our payday from the 21st of the month to the 31st.
We have been told that we may receive a P45 but it is nothing to worry about as is it is part of the payday change.
Why will we be receiving a P45 and should I be concerned?

Jimmy - Monday, July 16th, 2012

Hi,

The total pay section on my P45 is that amount before tax is deducted (the amount below) or is the amount shown after the tax amount is deducted?

I’m confused?!

Many thanks

I have asked my employer about it and they have no idea. How could this have happened and what should i do to get the situation back to normal ?

John S - Friday, January 4th, 2013

Hello, I left the armed forces in may 2011 and started a new job, the forces sent my p45 to the wrong address and promised me they would get it sorted, this went on for the whole time I was in the new job ( approx 4 months) so I was on the emergency tax band. Since all of this I am now working in Afghanistan so luckily I don’t pay income tax etc but am shortly due to finish my contract. What should I do now

Fiona - Monday, January 7th, 2013

Belinda - Saturday, February 16th, 2013

I left my job on July 20 2012 and started a new one in September. My old employer only issued my P45 in January and gave an incorrect leaving date of end of November, so FOUR months after I actually left.
I have asked them to reissue but they have refused.
Why is this? It is ringing alarm bells with me …
I have told the tax office who say it is down to the old employer to reissue but why would they refuse to do this? It is a major mistake, not a day or two out.

TaxFix - Friday, February 22nd, 2013

Belinda: Your employer is required by law (under the data protection act) to correct any wrong information they have on you. You could try reminding them of this obligation.

TaxFix - Friday, February 22nd, 2013

Grace: If you do not have your P45, you can contact your old employer and ask them to provide a ‘statement of earnings’ which can be used as a replacement for a P45.

lee - Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

I have been told by the tax office that I am due a tax refund, what parts of my p45′s do I need to send to the tax office, also do they require coding notices?

Jackie - Monday, April 29th, 2013

When I started my new job my new employer hasn’t submited by P45, resulting my P60 only having my income from my current job ! Does this matter , what can i do about it.

Melissa - Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

I worked in the Uk almost ten years ago now. I realise how belated this enquiry is however I’ve just found my National Insurance Number..
So I’m curious if there is any possibilty of still making a claim.

I’ve just reviewed some F& Q and see mention of a P45 on terminating my employment.
Except, I am certain that I received no paperwork. On leaving both my employers whilst in the UK.

I’m not sure what I can do from here, and hoping you may be able to shead some light on this for me..

TaxFix - Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

Melissa: Unfortunately the deadline to make a claim has passed for you. Sorry.

TaxFix - Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

D HERIVEL: Under the data protection act you could ask them to provide the information that they hold about you. If you need your p45 to give to a new employer, it might be quicker downloading a P46 instead.
