Can p45 be amended to hide last employers details?

Hi There,

After a very short time with my last employer we parted ways (not on the best terms), I do not want to include this Job on my CV. When i submit my P45 for my next job it will have my old employers name on it, is there any way this can be removed from it, or is there another form that can be given instead to my new employer?

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks
 
Yes. You can ask the Revenue directly for a statement of earnings and tax paid to date. You don't need to use a P45

AFAIK the P45 has to be sent directly into Revenue for them to issue the Tax Cert
 
I thought that there used to be an option of returning the P45 to Revenue to get certain details removed before handing it to a new employer? But maybe I misunderstood...

The only reason a P45 is handed to a new employer in the first instance is for them to forward it to Revenue along with a Form 12a application for a cert of tax credits for the employee. The employee can bypass this process if they wish by forwarding the P45 directly to Revenue, preferably with a completed Form 12a.
 
Also, generally the accounts person and the person who interviewed you are two different people, so you could just give the P45 directly to the accounts person...
 
Parts 2/3/4 of the P45 (i.e. the bits the employee gets & parts 2/3 go to the new employer) does not include the employer name, only the PAYE number.

I suppose the thing that would show on the P45 though is the start and end date, which might raise some questions. To be honest it has never been a problem for our company as the job has been offered & accepted by the time the P45 is handed in.
 

ive thought about just handing in after the interview and have accepted the job, but i feel it may raise some questions as to why i didnt mention this job in the interview or cv.
 
Your p45 goes to the Payroll dept so stop worrying!. You know that you are entitled to send your P45 into revenue yourself with your new employers register number etc along with your form 12a and they will issue you with a new tax credits certificate and one to your employer. In relation to your P60 though in Jan 2008, your new employer will need your P45 to key in your earnings to date in your previous employment and your p60 will show your earnings in THIS employment and previous employment seperatly.
Don't be worrying, you have got the job and should anyone ask, which I doubt they will, say you temped for a few weeks while awaiting a perm position!.

I did thanks i was responding to the post by mcginger, no need to be sarcy, ive just been made unemployed and was worried about the implications of it. I appreciate all the helpful comments posted.
 

Thanks very much for the advice! Its put my mind at ease!
 

If you have a P45 issued in the current year, why do you need to also send a 12A?
