I was made redundant on 4th October (following the normal and proper processes etc 12 weeks notice holiday etc)

I have received my redundancy payment, my final wages, together with my P45.

I have been very fortunate, and started a new job immediately on 5th October, temp to permanent though an agency.

I have given my Agency my P45 and am being paid weekly (which I assume is the norm for agency temporary workers) However, my first pay slip for two days, I have not paid any tax or NI.

Is this correct? And if so , why?

I was working full time in my previous job, and my new job is also full time.

If you want an answer to this you have to give the required details.
From the P45 part 1A the gross and tax figures, both sets if there are two sets, the tax code, is there an X after the code and the week or month number. Then from the first payslip the tax code and basis, the week number, the taxable gross and tax paid, taxable gross to date and tax paid to date.

Regarding NI your earnings were below the payment threshold for NI so no NI was due.
Regarding tax you have not advised the tax week/month number for the P45 or the first payment. Need these to work out tax position.

Edit Your P45 has not been applied yet and you were taxed on the emergency tax code. On this you did not earn enough to pay tax.
The figures on P45 suggest that this was issued as at month 6. You advise started job on Oct 5 so probably received first weekly pay in week 27. This would suggest that no tax was due that month (rather a small tax refund).

If advise tax month / week will be able to confirm, or adjust these figures.
