Filling Out the 12A Form - Need Help

PenguinForce

Hi all I started a new job 2 weeks ago. Revenue sent me a 12A form and a copy of the P45(with a "Received South County Revenue District" stamp on it) that I gave to the company last week. My last job was part time job working in parent's business. I didn't think I need to fill out 12A form I thought all I need was the P45.

So just a few questions regarding the 12A form.

In the "Employment or Pension Details" section. Do I simply fill in details of my current employer that I am working for? All the details I need seems to be in the copy of the P45 they sent with the 12A form.

In the second page of the form there are tax credit that I can claim but how I do I know which one I am qualified for? ie Single person's tax credit, PAYE tax credit.

Also when returning the form do I simply put down the address of the office on the envelope and post it? Do I need anything else?

Thanks.

Most workers are entitled to 2 basic tax credits:

the personal tax credit, i.e. single or married

and the PAYE tax credit.

it seems very strange that Revenue sent you Form 12A to complete as it is the form you use to claim credits if its your first employment. Had you registered with Revenue for the job you just left and had the P45 for? or had your old employer (parents) never registered you and you were paying emergency tax the whole time.

Hi, I have the P45 that my parent's accountant send out to me. I've gave it in to my company already last week.

Yesterday Revenue sent me a 12A form and a copy of the P45 that I gave to the company. I am not too sure if my parents registered me.

To clarify on the 12A form in the Company and Pension details. Do I simply fill in my current company's name and address not the previous job?

Thanks.
