New job wants p45 but I was self employed previously

augusta24

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone can give me some info about this. I've been self employed for about 12 months but now am going to give up on self emp as I've been offered a paye job.
My new job want my p45 obviously for tax purposes. I was in college before self emp so the only p45 I have is from 2010.

Just wondering what other people do in these situations? Is there anything else I can get from revenue to give them to avoid the annoying emergency tax??
I'm about to complete my self assessment online for 2013 and will be paying prelim tax for 2014 at that stage.

Thanks :-)

Someone on here told me to ring up with the employer number, and they could do the rest. I wasn't given a P45 in my last job, so I'm in your boat (for different reasons obviously).

Last time I couldn't remember where I placed my P45 so I just filled in another form 12A and everything was ok.

Iirc you're supposed to use form P46 if you should have the P45 but don't.

Ask your employer for their PAYE reference, callthe tax office with that and your PPS number. They will then issue your credits to your employer.
