Hi all,

A good friend of mine finished a job last summer. The emplyer was a british based firm. Upon leaving her P45 was dispatched to her... however it never arrived. The employer claimed it was sent... so it appears the postal system lost it. Having tried to get the firm to furnish a duplicate copy, they have informed her several times that they can't do so. They have however sent her a .pdf soft copy of the original.

Will this suffice when she comes to getting a new job? Is there anything more that can be done?

Thanks,
Ciaran
 
A P45 from a previous year has no impact on a job started this year.

Once your friend starts a new job, they should be contact their tax office immediately with their own and their new employer's tax numbers and get a 2008 tax credit cert issued. If they are paid before this issues emergency tax will apply.
 
And just for the record, a soft copy is fine.

The tax office just wants the figures - they don't care what kind of paper it's printed on.
 
im starting a new job and my employer has asked to send my P45 down to the company offcies. Do i not have to do this? Just contact the revenue and give them my PPs and compny tax number?
 
I think you need to give your new employer your P45 so that they can sort out your tax. If you want your previous earnings details removed then Revenue can do this for you. Should be explained on one part of the form. Why are you reluctant to give it to them?

Cos i dont know where it is and dont want to rip my room apart looking for it!
 
You can sort out the tax yourself by ringing the tax office. Of course, it's possible the payroll person will never have heard of this so s/he might kick up a stink...
