Ex-employer odd p45

timjmo

Hey all!

I have to file my tax return for 2010-2011.

However, a company I worked for as an agency worker has sent me a p45 saying I left them on the 6th of April 2011 when I didn't even know the company existed let alone start work for them until late August 2011.

Does the date on the p45 mean I have to include my earnings with them for the 2010-11 tax year even though that is false?

I tried to contact HMRC but was on hold for so long my phone ran out of charge.

Regards,
Tim

I wouldn't. I would contact the company that issued that P45 and ask them to confirm in writing the date that that P45 should have been dated and that the one that was issued was wrong. I'd then submit those with the return as proof its not valid or keep them in case HMRC questions it.
