Tax paperwork after long, long term unemployment

nightofjoy · 22 August 2016 at 11:45PM

Hi.

I'm starting work again soon - part time at first - and it will be a return to work after approx 5 years of unemployment ESA due to health reasons.

I don't have a p45, couldn't even recall the last company who could have supplied me with one, as when I did used to work it was mostly freelance.

So I need to know what paperwork I'll need to take in to my new employer, and from where I'd get it.

Thanks.

ESA will send you your P45 when you end your claim. You can fill in a P46 to cover you until you receive it. Your employer should provide the P46 form.

If you don't have a P45 from the current tax year, then your employer should get you to complete a 'New Starter form' - it used to be called a P46 until HMRC in their wisdom decided to lose its number. That should get your tax code sorted.

If you haven't already shown your passport as proof of your right to work in the UK, then they should ask for that too.

Other than that, take any forms they've sent you and asked you to complete, and make sure you know or have details of your NINo and bank account handy.
