P45

jamesy81

I have been working a job for the last 10 and get 3 months off during the summer.I am issued with a P45 every year which I bring back to the employer after the summer hold. This year I brought back the P45 but my employer says I must get a tax cert also. Why is this? My circumstances have not changed.

Ask them why .. P45 should be enough

They should always have got a new cert because if you were on jobseeker's benefit all summer your credits need to be amended. P45 couldn't reflect this.

No

All they need is a the P45. New employer submits P45 to revenue and obtains an uptodate tax credit cert that they they act upon through their payroll.

It is nothing to do with the new employer what the guy has done over the summer months. They simply follow whatever instructions are given on the tax cert from revenue re their gross pay to date, weekly/monthly tax credits, week one or cumulative basis etc.

In this instance the new employer is the old employer. They already submitted the P45 to Revenue when they issued it to the employee. They could submit Part 3 with the date the employment re-started but this is slow and old-fashioned. In cases like this they usually either record the new employment on ROS or ask the employee to ring Revenue and get a new cert.

It's usually school staff and I'd advise them to give a ring themselves because employers keeping them on the original credits after the summer causes thousands of people to have underpayments every year.

Ten years? Surely you should be on a contract of indefinite duration?
