Revenue have no record of employment?

    Right, last year I worked in 2 separate places - I am still in the second job since Sept 2012. I didn't call revenue about the second job directly, but handed the P45 from the 1st job over to the guys in my current job and assumed all would be taken care of from there.

    I just logged on to PAYE Anytime there to request a P21 for last year - But they only have a record of the first job - and on my profile page, it says there are no employments on file for me (even though I am currently employed and paying tax accordingly!)

    I'll be checking everything is set up properly in work tomorrow (which I assumed it was as I was never on emergency tax) - but should I be worried? I have been paying tax properly (deducted at source by employer), but if I go and inform revenue of my employment, will they be looking for more from me?

    It's also saying that I'm not entitled to the PAYE tax credit as I'm not employed - which I am.

    This happens quite a bit. Your employer never bothered to register your employment with Revenue but were probably taxing you correctly using the details on your valid p45. This obviously is not the way to do it. There are PAYE regulations which the employer must follow to the letter. The penalties for non compliance are pretty severe.
    Easiest thing to do is get your employers paye registered number (7 didgits with a letter at the end) and call your PAYE area on the appropriate 1890 number. Revenue will register the job for you and allocate a paye credit to it for 2013.

    Thanks for the reply! I'll do that asap. It's strange as my employers are a big company - i would have thought they'd be compliant with all such rules. Checked payslips today and my correct pps no. Is used and everything so not sure why i was never registered.

    Hi there,

    Just spotted this thread, and have a similar issue myself. Starting working in my current job a year ago, and recently logged into revenue.ie and my old job details were still there! I just called them and they have no record of me working here. I handed in my P45 and checked with my employer and they said t was submitted to revenue. I have payslips and received a P60 at the end of last year outlined the tax and usc I had paid.

    I have emailed revenue my documents now, and will post copies this evening.

    Should I be worried, will I be hit to pay more tax etc? Im a bit worried to be honest, I never log into revenue so didnt spot it until now.

    I discovered exactly the same problem last October. I only realised it when an accountant friend was helping me with a return for a rented property.

    In my case I had started working for a large multinational 2 years previously but Revenue had no record of it. I had paid all the usual taxes etc and received P60's but still Revenue didn't have my employment listed on their system.

    In fairness to Revenue they seemed to indicate it was a problem on their side rather than with the company. This was also supported by the company payroll but I suppose they would say that....

    Anyway, of more importance was that the company never got updated tax details from Revenue for me after the last budget change. The end result is that I have been paying too little tax for 2 years and need to pay it back now. After a discussion with Revenue we agreed that I could make the payment in one lump sum in October when I make the return for this year.

    Be careful though as I believe the default process is that they issue instructions to your payroll to deduct all in one go....
