Self employed P45?

eddywatson

Hello

I have just started up as self employed, I was previously on job seekers allowance. I started work on Monday 4th of April 2011.

This is where it gets confusing. I am working for my local council in the horticultural department as a temporary worker. If i stayed with the agency I would only be given 10 weeks work. The way around it is to be self employed by a company called Choices Contracting. So i get a weekley pay slip.

So yesterday I got my P45, it came in 3 parts

Part 1 I keep for my self, Part 2 and 3 are to be handed to my employer... But as I am self employed what do I do?

On Part 3 it asks for PAYE reference, office number and reference number. Now I don't have them.

Do I hold onto them my self and do nothing with them? or hand them to Choices?

So basically I am self employed but work for an agency lol :think:

Thank you for your time

You keep the whole of the P45. You're not employed so you don't have an employer to hand it to. And as you signed off in the previous tax year, that P45 is no good for this one.
