    Just wondering are all new employees placed on Emergency Tax?

    I did some work for a company in January and they put me on Emergency Tax, I had previously worked for them but there was a break of a year. I hadn't worked for anyone else this year, it was early Jan when I did the work.

    I was a PAYE employee too.

    See link below for full explanation, but basically emergency tax exists to compel you to contact Revenue to sort out your tax affairs. Your employer put you on emergency tax because they were missing some bit of information to tax you correctly.

    Generally the only reason an employer should put an employee on Emergency Basis is if they have no other information for them. i.e. no Tax CRedit Cert for that relevant year from Revenue to show what Tax Credits, Cut-off Points, etc. to use to taxation purposes. So in your case because there is a gap of the year the employer cannot use the previous information because it is not relevant to this Tax Year.
