Unsure about P45

    I finished my job in Ireland in December 2011 to move abroad with my partner for a fixed length of time. I gave the required notice in writing before finishing, and after finishing up, received my holiday pay entitlements the following month.

    I have still not received a P45 to date, and the address was at my parents house so it's unlikely it was lost in the post. However, prior to leaving, my manager said she would almost definitely have a job for me when I came back. Fingers crossed, I hope to resume this job during the coming winter months.

    I'm just wondering about the P45 situation. Given that I gave the company written notice, I expected my contract to be terminated. But seeing as I haven't received a P45, I'm wondering if I was just left on the books while I was out of the country. Would this make a difference to me in terms of tax/entitlements if I do end up resuming the job?

    Thanks in advance.

    A P45 is only valid for the tax year it is issued in so if it was issued in 2011 then it is null and void for 2012.

    If you commence employment in 2012, you can ring the tax office and inform them of this employment, however the payroll dept should do this for you so there should be no need for you to do it, a new tax certificate will be sent to you and to your employer.

    No company would leave you on the books if you handed in your notice, they probably had your address wrong. If they have issued it and sent it to the wrong address they can not issue a second one, but the tax office get a copy of it when a copy prints off so they should have your details from it anyway.

    If you really want why not ring them as in your old employer and see what happened.
