Been on emergency tax for months - how to change and get taxback??

whiskeyman

Hi,

I'm going to sound like a fool, but the circumstances that were just led this to happen....

I've been on emergency tax for well over 9 months since starting my new job.
I never gave in my P45 as I lost it from doing some temp work beforehand (long story).

How do I get moved off Emergency tax and back on the normal rate if I dont have a P45 to give the company?
I think I have to get a Tax cert issued?
My HR dept are just hopeless and I get no help from them.

All these months of being paid on emergency tax has seen a considerable sum building up in tax I now need to claim back.
How do I go about to do this?

Thanks for any advice.

Just call the tax office and tell them who you're working for and they will do everything.
You will get lot's of money back in a pay cheque.

I would've thought that the accounts person wherever you're working should just regulate you're taxes automatically?
That's how it's been anywhere i've worked>
Have a word & if they can't help you, get all the necessary details to give to the tax office from them & give them a call.
You'll need their official name (as some companies work under an umbrella company's name) too.

Knowing your employers code number will help as well, ask the HR/accounts ppl for it as the tax office will ask probably ask you for it when you talk to them.

Bring a copy of you last payslip to the nearest Revenue Commissioners office. Explain that you've mislaid your P45 from previous employer [give them previous employer's name & registration number if possible]. They'll source your P45 from their files, recalculate your tax bill & refund you the difference!!

I just noticed that you stated that you're on emergency tax for over 9 months!!

Your current job should have gotten you to write a letter to the tax office when you started stating that you'd ceased employment with your previous employer and accordingly could they transfer the balance of tax credits & standard rate band to your current employment!

This would have resulted in you not being emergency taxed in 2005

NO they shouldn't, your tax issues are your problems.

True. I shouldn't have put that the employer should have gotten them to do a letter, but most employers would give that bit of advice!!
