    What paperwork did you give to the second employer when starting ? If an incorrectly completed P46 then you could be held liable. Under our tax laws you are responsible for ensuring you pay the correct amount of tax. If it was found that the employer was ignoring tax office instructions then they could be held liable but more than likely it is a fair cop guv !!

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
