Employer will not provide p45 or p60

Hi,

I am due a tax refund of approx. £800 and I left my employment on 10th April this year. My old boss is a bit of a cowboy and despite all my pleas via email and letter he won't send them, What can I do to get this refund?

    Are you monthly paid?

    if so, your P45 should be released once the April pay run is updated, your P60 is not due until the end of May.
    Always get a Qualified opinion - My qualifications are that I am OLD and GRUMPY:p:p

    Its a long story, My old boss will not do anything for me, He hasnt paid me my final wage as he says the company has been liquidated and he will not send me any due tax forms, I really have no clue as to how I can now get this tax refund. I am absolutely fuming..

    Perhaps the company has been put into liquidation by HMRC, because he has failed to pay his taxes?

    I'm not sure, he has only paid me until 1st April, so technically I wasnt employed when the tax year finished and I wasnt on JSA. I just want somebody to give me the answer as how I can now go about my tax refund? The tax office just said they can't do anything because they need my p60 or at least p45.. and my old boss wont send them because he is an asss!

    just a thought, I have signed on for JSA from 8th April this year, will they pay any refund as I have signed off today due to me getting another job??

    The tax you are hoping to get back was paid in the previous fiscal (tax) year 10/11, that finished on 05apr11 at midnight.
    I would think you have the problem of proving to HMRC how much tax you paid last year.

    The administrator/liquidator (there is a difference) is now running the company and you have a claim ahead of most other creditors for your wages.
    The tax issue seems to me to be the tail not the dog if you were paid monthly?

    Fortunately I have never been made redundant by a company going bust; but I did share a flat with someone where the employees ransacked the offices when they discovered they were not getting paid:D

    How have you arrived at the figure of 800 quid for the tax refund?

    The fact that your old boss has not paid you after 1st April is NOT the deciding factor in whether you were still employed by him.
    If you can provide reasonable proof that you consider you WERE still employed on the last day of the tax yeay then he HAS to send you a P60. Maybe he hasn't been declaring things properly and so has been hoist, as they say?
    Either way I'd get me down to the CAB and get some legal input.
    Dont just fume and definitely DON'T just roll over.
    Good luck.;)

    No P60s either except the one for 2011-12?

    Does the letter from HMRC show the correct NI number?
    How is the underpayment said to have arisen?
