    I've been out of work since the end of last year .. already had a gap on my CV from a trip to Oz a few years ago so didn't want another one and said I'd been contracting since Jan .. have now been offered a job but worried about providing a P45 .. anyone got any advice or am I screwed .. I saw something on the boards about getting a P45 from the tax office .. will that help me?

    Yes you can get a P45 from the tax office but it's going to have dates on it so you may get rumbled..

    Could you say you had been contracting on a self employed basis? That way your fees would not have been subject to PAYE and so you would not have been issued a P45.

    You dont have to give a P45 to your new employer. They just need it to be sent to revenue so that revenue can provide them with a statement of your tax credits etc.... so they can do payroll for you. As long as you sent in a P45 to revenue from whatever job you last had they will have a record of it and be able to send your new employer the required tax cert for you. You can call revenue yourself and sort it out.

    That sounds like the way to explain it alright.

    in regard to the tax office option call your new employer get their tax number, then call the tax office and get yourself set up on what i believe they call a week one basis. you may be on emergency tax for one month but then it's sorted.
