Holiday pay previous employer

[Olliej]

Hi Im due holiday pay from a previous employer from 2018. When I receive this payment from them hopefully in the next coming weeks can I make a manual paye payment for 2018 and it be classed as 2018 salary?

No, it will be classed as income received in 2019

Will your previous employer not deduct the PAYE? Anyway whoever pays it it will be classed as 2019 income.

Thanks for replies probably a really stupid question but could I not return the paye on it on a revenue form 11 for 2018? The tax implications may differ significantly between this year and last

I assume as it's holiday pay then it's from an employer rather than being self employed. Therefore paye etc has to be deducted and net amount paid to you in 2019. I imagine it will be subject to emergency tax etc as you're not still an employee. How come it's lingered so long into 2019?
