Emergency Tax & P45

Crepalax1

I'll try and keep this as concise as possible. I appreciate any kind of feedback.

So I started a new job on the 3/5/2016. My last working day with my previous employer was 28/4/2016. When I started my new job, during my induction I was told to call the local tax office to let them know I had started a new job to settle my emergency tax as soon as possible. I rang the following Monday and gave them my PPS number which is the only information they asked for.

It is now the 29/6/2016. Despite numerous efforts to contact my previous employer (calls, texts, e-mails - which have all been ignored, as well as going in to him in person), he has still not sent me my P45. I am still being taxed heavily on Emergency basis and I'm worried that it will keep going on.

My main concern is will the Tax I've been paying for the past almost 2 months be returned to me? Or will it be held from me as its been so long without my P45?

What is the fastest way of going about sorting this? Can the tax office sort my emergency basis even though I don't have a P45 to supply them with?

I appreciate any words of advice on the matter, I'm at the end of my tether.

Thanks in advance.

relax carry on

You can opt to be put on a week one basis by Revenue. It's gets you off emergency tax but it's not the normal cumulative basis. You won't be able to get your emergency tax back until you get your P45. If you are having difficulty getting it, you can also ask Revenue to try to get it for you.

1st thing 1st legally the old job have to give you a P45 unless a valid reason is given such as your only gone for the summer and will be back in september. But your tax credits can be sorted out without a P45 if you ring the tax office with your PPS number and your employers PPS number they can swap the credits over from one job to the other. The downside to this method is if the pay is different vastly the breakdown in credit may be wrong.
But this way will get you back your emergency tax and will help you going forward get the right pay
