Emergency tax question

    I've been working in a new job for the past 6 weeks, and I'm currently still on emergency tax due to my previous employer not sending out my P45, and the current one being such a mess that they won't provide me with the VAT number because my manager doesn't want to contact HR.

    I've been offered a position in a different company which I'm interviewing for tomorrow, and I was wondering is there any way of claiming the emergency tax back after I leave my current job?

    Also, if I get a P45 from my current job as I leave for the new place, will my tax be unaffected and I won't be emergency taxed in the new job?

    You should not be on emergency tax anymore, since we are in a new tax year from January 1st you should now be on normal tax with your new employer, if they have you properly registered as an employee, they should have received your tax credits from Revenue and be applying them since January 1st.

    To get your tax back for the weeks in 2013 when you paid emergency, you can go to your local revenue office and ask them to do a balancing statement for 2013 for you, you should find out what your owed back there and then and receive a cheque in the post a week or two later.

    If your current job gives you a p45 for the new job you should not be emergency taxed in the new job.

    They don't want to contact HR? That's a bit of a cop-out; just ring them yourself and tell them you need the VAT number because you're still being emergency taxed. They're sort of obliged.

    Anyway, all emergency tax will be held even if you get the new job, but as far as I'm aware your current company won't be able to issue you a P45 until you get yourself sorted with revenue. If you move to the new job without this you will still be emergency taxed there until you get their VAT number and sort it out.

    To avoid emergency tax, ring Revenue yourself, with your PPS Number and your Employers Registration Number. They will issue tax certs immediately. Also, as other posters have said, get an end of year balancing statement. If you're registered online, it's easy do and the refund can be paid directly into your bank account. I hate when employers act the bo**i* like this. Puts you off working for them.
