New job in eight weeks. How to avoid Emergency Tax?

[wp86]

Hi,

I begin a new full time, permanent job in eight weeks' time. How do I avoid paying Emergency Tax?

Many thanks.

Are you currently working? If you are, request a p45 when you leave and hand it to your new employer. Most employers issue a p45 as a matter of course but do tell them them if you have a new address.

If you're not currently employed complete a form 12 A - google this. You will need your new employers tax number.

You will get temp tax credits for 4 weeks anyway so that should allow any delays.

Thanks Becky. I will look into that now.

Becky, Form 12A states:

"You will need to complete Form 12A to apply for your Tax Credit Certificate if you are starting your first employment in the State."

I am currently unemployed, but have had plenty of jobs before. Do you know if this form still applies to me?

Thanks.
