Am I on Emergency Tax?

masterboy123

So I started working for a new employer 2 weeks and got the payslip today for 1st week.

It says 1080 euros gross and i am getting only 660 euros after tax, pension, usc and prsi. I was hoping to get higher take home and wondering if I am on energency tax?

Note: i haven't received the p45 from previous employer.

If your new employment hasnt been registered with Revenue then you are more than likely on emergency tax.

Its also possible your employer did register you with Revenue but as no P45 issued Revenue are unaware your other employment ceased so the tax credit cert receivd by the employer is a zero cert. Your current employer would then chargecthe higher rates i e 40% PAYE 8% USC etc.

You can check your record online by registering for MyAccount on revenue.ie

I informed revenue myself and gave them business number of new employer. And i have checked on my online Revenue account that i have 2 employments active.
A colleague informed me that i am supposed to get last one weeks payslip from previous employer. Maybe that explains the high taxes?

Are all your credits and rate band with your old employer or new employer?

masterboy123

I haven't received last payslip yet from previous employer and on my online revenue account it do not say where are my credits and flat rate expense are.
On my current employer payslip it says Tax cut off 1300.

Could the payslip be for 2 weeks wages , as the tax cutoff of 1,300 is 2 weeks  ( 33,800 /52x2 )

masterboy123

It's for a week only unfortunately.

I got last payslip from previous employer just now. It says Annual tax credit 0.00 and annual cut off point 0.00.
Looks like tax credits messed up moving to new employer.

Do i need to wait till the end of the year and claim tax back using Form 12? Or can I do it now online or by calling revenue?

Get a P45 from old employer. Once on record get a new tax credit cert issued to new employer. Once the new employer uses the previous pay and tax and your credits and rate band any refund you may be due would issue through your payroll

masterboy123

Ok.
Will i get refund from previous employers pay too?
It was my mistake that I rang revenue and lady asked me if i have received the last pay and i said yes..so she moved some credits to new emoloyers.
But i didn't realise i was owing a weeks pay from previous employer and all my credits are zero on the last pay from previous employer

Yes. Any refund that may be due from either last employment or current one would be made through your new payroll.

It will all work out once the p45 is filed and a new tax credit cert issued and utilised

masterboy123

Thank you so much for clarifying my queries.

If your new tax cert is on week1 basis , it may not all work out

masterboy123

How to find this out if tax cert is on week 1 of new job? Or did you mean something different?

There are ways to find out if you on W1 and here are some of them :

1. If your nett pay is not bigger than your gross pay on your payslip the week after employers receive new cert
2. Check payslip if it has tax code W on it
3. login to your account at www.revenue.ie and have a look at your most recent tax credit certificate . Week 1 will be shown on the cert if you are on this

masterboy123

Thank you.

I've checked the payslips.

On my last payslip from previous employer it says Week 1 tax basis. And still awaiting for P45 from them.

On my first payslip from current employer it says "E" tax basis. I searched Google and it appears E stands for Emergency tax.

My question is how do i get extra tax money back that i have paid?

Just ring and ask for a cumulative cert

masterboy123

Do I need p45 from previous employer to get this cert?

Masterboy, when you come off the emergency status the tax that you have overpaid will be refunded to you via your wages. Tax is a cumulative system so if you overpay or underpay at any stage it will be corrected in the following weeks pay so to be at the correct level.

EDITED to add that you want to be on a normal basis and not a week 1 basis for this to happen

masterboy123

Thanks Dixie chick.

I am awaiting to get P45 then i will ring revenue.

masterboy123

Finally tax office received my p45 from previous employer on Friday.

I paid emergency tax on last payslip with my previous employer as I transferred my credits to new employer by telephoning revenue and later realising I am due to get my last pay. I know i will get back extra tax paid from current emoloyer.
But will I get tax back from previous employer on my last pay? Or do i wait till the year finishes and claim tax back?
