Moving from Self Employment to Normal Employment

Hi,

I'm in the process of closing my business down, and will shortly start working a new company. My company ceased trading last July after loosing a contract and I have been out of work since.

The new company have asked for a P45.

What do I do in my circumstance?
What can I get my accountant to do to assist?

Many thanks for your help.

    If you have been claiming JSA then the job centre should give you a P45 when you sign off, otherwise tell them you don't have one and fill out a P46 instead

    If you were an employee of your company then you should have issued yourself a P45 at the time your employment ended. However, it's all moot now anyway as it's a new tax year. Simply complete a P46 when you start work rather than handing over a P45.

    Not been on JSA. :beer:

    Thanks, I'll stop stressing and get one of those from my new employer.

    Much Appreciated.

  • Don't forget to notify both the tax and NI contributions that you've not been working otherwise they'll be expecting some money off you. That's if you haven't done it already :)

    I've paid my NI, just need to arrange with HMRC to pay my tax, in my current situation, its impossible to settle the balance they require.
