    Hi all, after being in college for many a year now I have finally finished up and have secured my first job of my working life today. Just wondering what forms I need for my new employer so I don't get raped for emergency tax. I haven't had a job since around 2006 and have been on jobseekers allowance for the last year. No clue where p45 would be and I presume I wouldn't have gotten a p60 in a long time either as I was in college. Do I need both forms for a new employer and if so can I get them if I call out to my local revenue office.

    Emergency Tax is not as bad as you may think . It is there for a reason.

    It gives you normal single tax credits for the first 4 weeks , and gives you the opportunity to sort out your tax situation in this timeframe.

    To apply for a tax credit cert , you can fill in form 12a and send to tax office , or you can ring tax office and give them your PPS No and your new employer reg. no.

    So do I pay emergency tax until I get my forms sorted? I wouldn't have paid tax for about 6 years as I was either on grants in college or on Jobseekers allowance so not sure what way the credits thing works. Apologies for lack of knowledge, been out of the workforce for some time.

    Yes - but like the response said, your emergency tax rate for the first four weeks is the normal "single person" tax. It only goes up after the first four weeks - and takes nine weeks to reach paying the highest marginal rate (ie 40-ish%) on the entire income.

    PS I don't know about anyone else, but I'm finding the analogy in your first post somewhat distasteful.

    Thanks for the helpful information. Apologies if you found the analogy distasteful, it was obviously not meant to be taken literally and most definitely not a ploy to offend folks whilst getting some useful tax related information.

    If you contact Revenue with your employer registration number and your PPS number, tell them what date you started/will start. They will then be able to organise for a new cert to be sent to your employer fairly promptly. Then it just depends on how quick the company's payroll is at updating their system. As soon as they update your record with your tax cert info then you will be moved off emergency tax.

    You don't need any forms or paperwork. Just ask your new employer for their registration number (or often it will be in the staff handbook if you have one) and then ring revenue. Simples.

    Thanks for that. I'm not starting until the morning so will ask employer for registration number then and get the ball rolling. Been a while since I had to do this with college and all so just wanted to get things organised as best I could before starting. Thanks again.
