    Hi everyone,

    I am in the middle of filling out a Form 12A in order to determine my tax but I do not have a P45 from my previous employer and do not know the exact date that my employment ceased with them.

    Is this is a big problem?

    for the 12a you dont need a p45 just send it to tax office or if you live in dublin bring it to the tax office (its faster). As for the exact date it shouldnt be a problem just make sure to fill in a contact phone number and if there is any problems they will call you.

    It's better to give some kind of date the employment ceased (guess!) as if you don't they'll leave the employment live even if you move all your credits to your new employer. This causes a problem if they try and do any tax reviews for you at a future date.

    Also without a P45 from your previous employer you'll be put on a Week 1 basis meaning they divide your tax credits by 52 and allocate them on a week to week basis. This can work for or against you, depending on how high an earner you are! Again this can be reviewed at a later date.

    If you're having a problem getting the P45 the tax office can help.

    To be honest Fabio, your old employer would have sent a copy of your P45 to Revenue (or they should have), so that should ease problems changing over to a new employer. You can call Revenue to find out the info...your local tax office should help. If you don't know what the contact details are go to the Revenue website (www.revenue.ie) and click on the 'contact locator' on the right hand side, enter your PPS number and hey presto

    As far as your new employment goes, you will be on emergency basis....although this will only really take effect after 5 weeks (to the best of my memory).

    The thing is, I have been in my new emplyment for about 3 months now and the emergency tax has begun to increase pretty sharply, and so my attention was drawn to it!

    I'm heading away on a family holiday for 2 weeks next week so may not get the chance to have this sorted out...I'll ensure to do my best though.

    Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it.
