    I recently started working full time, and before this I was on jobseekers benefit for a year and half. For a few months before i started full time i was doing a day or two, a week here and a week there work getting cash in hand.

    I've got a tax form to fill out now for my new employer but i don't know what to do. I cant lie on the form, and say that i wasn't getting benefits. But i don't want my new employer to know i was on the dole either.

    Should i fill out the form, hand it back to my employer and have a little chat to her, or should i leave the section blank on the form and say nothing to her.

    Also i was reading on revenue.ie that once a person starts back at work, the new employer would get a letter stating that i was on the dole (i think or that is what i understand of it).

    Why not? They can't fire you for that, and it's private information so they can't divulge it to anyone. I wouldn't worry about it.

    What's the form? If it's P45 you don't have to give past details.

    I am assuming that you did not give your new employer a P45 but that you have a PPS number and that they are completing a form P45 to send to Revenue requesting your tax deduction card ........ If this is the case just fill in your name address and PPS number nothing else is really required.

    What's the problem if you've been offered the job already? As someone else has already said, unless you lied on your CV there's no problem. And also, bosses generally don't bother looking at all the tax forms etc. that's for the people in accounts to worry about.

    Not exactly unusual for somebody starting work to be out of work in the first place!
    Forget about the cash in hand stuff.

    Ive got a form 12A to fill out. Think this is what its called - a form for completing after spending some time unemployed.

    I work as a childminder, and my boss wants to do things offically, from the time i started full time. I'm off benefits since i started full time. Before that i was doing a few hours work a week for her.

    I don't want her her to know i was on the dole while doing a few hours work for her. Shes a nice lady, but she mightn't be too impressed at what i was at. I get on well with this lady and her husband. In fact her husband is so nice he'd pat me on my back and laugh his head off.
