Well could my day get any worse?

Another dilemma has now come up. As mentioned in my other post (http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=123396) I have was working as a contractor for a company on a self employed basis. I started a new contract at the beginning of September as an employee. I have just had my fist pay check and been taxed to the hilt as I’m on emergency TAX.

I spoke to my accountant and was told that my new employer would have to contact the tax office and inform them that I am now and employee and they will adjusts everything? I passed my new employer thins information over 4 weeks ago. Does anyone know how long something like this should take?

Thanks,

Pip
 
But its up to you, the tax-payer or your tax-adviser / accountant, to keep Revenue updated as to your status. In reality it has nothing to do with your employer who only applies the tax-credits to your pay as the certificate issues (or not as the case may be).
 
It was my understanding that the company have to produce a letter to state that I am working in full time employment for them?
 
If you were self-employed you would have no P45 to give to the new employer but should have contacted Revenue to request tax credits be applied to the new post.
 
And make sure you have your employers Registered number to hand when phoning them. They cannot register you otherwise
 
Okay, I got that side of things sorted and just waiting for my letter from tax office.

Apparently I'm not on emergency tax, so now a little worried, as my employer had agreed that my net per month would be €2200, and my employer said that this would be correct on a 32K gross salary. I am now doubting this.

Any thoughts. I'm married and wife is on 28K (4 days per week)

Thanks,
