New job & tax

andreoilin

I started a new job two weeks ago, paid fortnightly today. I registered with revenue before I started the job and was under the impression that this would prevent being emergency taxed on my first paycheck? Hasn't turned out that way. How can I rectify this?

check "my account" on ROS

1. Is the new job listed as your employer
2. Have Revenue issued a new tax credit cert
3. Is there any mention of week 1 month 1 on a the cert

If the answer to the top 2 is yes and answer to 3 is no print a copy of the tax credit cert and give it to your payroll department. They will update your records and if you have overpaid tax it will be refunded to you in your payroll.

Hi, thanks for the reply

Both my old job and my new job are listed as 'active'.

The latest tax credit cert I can see is from January, which is shortly after I started my old job.

If both jobs are listed as active you are most likely on emergency tax on your new job. That is backed up by no new credit cert. You have two options here

You can split the credits between old and new job as a stop gap will put you on week 1 month 1 in new job.

But you will need to get a p45 from your old job and give this to the payroll department. A copy will be given to Revenue by old employer and that will cause old job to go in active then you can go on normal basis for new job

Once my new employer and revenue have my p45 how do I go about getting back the emergency tax?

it will be done via payroll once its in the same calendar year assuming Revenue out you on normal pay which they should.

Otherwise you will have to apply for a P21 from next march to get the refund

Think I know what part of the problem is. My last paycheck from my old job will be issued on the 8th, and they've told me the p45 will come through after that.
