Form 12 query about , questions 3 & 18.

[widescreen]

I am filling in my form 12 for 2010. I have done this myself for several years now as I have a rental property and there have been no issues.

However, last year, I was made redundant half way through the year, so my PAYE figures only include income up to that point.

Revenue advised me to use the P45 to get the necessary tax figures. However, i was paid a back payment after that date on which full tax was paid and I received a supplementary income levy certificate for that payment as well. That payment though is not included on the P45 figures.

The grey area for me now is how to complete question 3. I was thinking for the income levy total I just total up the two certificates I have?

For the taxable income and tax deducted I was going to put down the figures as per the P45. Then I was thinking I would put the gross pay figure for the extra month in question 18 -Settlements.

Can anyone confirm if that is the right thing to do or should I be adding it to the P45 figure? thanks

Your employer gave a supplementary Income Levy Cert for the extra income, but they should also have given you a supplementary P45 too. You should contact the payroll and request it. Or you could ask Revenue if they have received supplementary P45 details, if you prefer not to contact your former employer.

You should add the supplementary P45 figures and the original P45 figures and enter that as 'Gross Amount of Taxable Income' at question 3. You should also add the supplementary Income Levy Cert figures to the original Income Levy cert figures and enter that as 'Gross Income for Income Levy'.

As the income is Paye Income it shouldn't be entered at Question 18.

Thanks for detailed reply. I'll run with that. cheers
