Can I email the 12A form?

I recently started working and I don't want to be emergency taxed. Is it alright to fill out the 12A form online and email it to the PAYE customer service email? Or do I have to print it out and send it in the post?

It has a lot of personal information on it.

Would you be happy putting that info on a postcard and sending it's unprotected thru the mail for anyone to read? Only email it if the answer is yes.

Ring Revenue and talk to them on Monday. Probably take you 5 mins max.

Ring PAYE anytime on Monday, they'll be able to sort you out then and there. Just had your PPSN, employers number, start date and works number (if you have one) ready. They will be able to sent a tax cert out to yourself and to your employer.

Just a little FYI, 12As don't get processed any quicker through email than in a letter form and most come in letter format to be scanned in for processing. They're sorted out by priority, Ie. An email received will be treated like a letter that arrived that day, the few days pile up before will be processed first.

You only need to fill out a 12A if it is your first employment in the State. If you have been employed before you will be already registered on Revenue's system and you simply have to ring them up with the employer's registered number.
