did you send a covering letter or anything? If you just sent a p45 on its own with no explanation they may just file it. Try ringing them and see.
A new tax credit cert cannot issue until you have a new job as it is a statement of what credits are being allocated to a particular employment.

Did you send in the section of p45 that is supposed to be given to you or just the bit that goes to Revenue? I think it's the top sheet goes to Revenue to be filed on system. Nothing is done with regard to checking if correct tax was deducted on the basis of the top part.
I assume you got the other 3 parts? If so then check on an online calculator (this one is referred to in another post: http://taxcalc.eu/monthlyss) whether any tax is due to be refunded and if so contact Revenue by phone or on their website.

yes they were a1 contributions. my earnings were 350 a week i am on job seekers allowance at the moment. would a prsi refund affect my stamps if i was unemployed in 2012 though?
Nope - refund would not affect youre stamps , as it is not the amount you paid in PRSI , rather the amount of contributions , that decide whether or not you qualify for ' stamps '
i see. ill send off a copy to them at the address you gave. i had submitted the p45 to my local office to re-activate my jsa but got the pages back a few weeks ago.
