    Hiya, I just started a new job last week. My last job ended around at the end of the christmas just gone. I was just wondering in my contract papers that Ive been issued do I need to fill out the 12 A form Ive been given or is that for someone who was unemployed for a long time recently. any help appreciated.

    If you got a P45 from your last employment, you should have given that to your new employers.

    Failing that, get the employer's Revenue ref no., and your details (PPSN, date of starting new job etc.) and call it over to the Revenue office. They should then send you a new tax cert.

    Not necessarily. You don't need to bother if your last pay was in the last tax year, ie up to the end of December.

    Good advice: one thing to add is that you need to make sure that Revenue understand that you haven't been earning anything else this year.

    The 12a is technically for the first time that someone starts work. But it can be useful for making your situation 100% clear to Revenue in other cases too, eg if you've had an employment gap that spans years (like the OP) or if you've got pensions or overseas income.
