Help

Hi there

Not sure if in right section but hope somebody can help,

I have recently received a letter from hmrc asking for a p45 / p60 from last tax year for a certain employer who I worked for 3 months during the tax year, now I know i overpaid tax during the year so would be entitled to a tax rebate as I was on br tax code for this employer and Jsa afterwards.

I contacted my former employer to ask for this information and firstly she hung up on me and then when I called back another colleague told me that she had said I wouldn't be getting the information I required.

I have called hmrc and a rather rude call centre person who didn't even look into my case turned round and said tough, nothing they can do about it

Where do I stand in terms of sorting out my tax record, I don't mind loosing my overpayment for that year but need to make sure my record is up to date as I know that if I was to have any future over payments on my tax then this will not be picked up on till they close the year in concern

Than,s

Jamie

did you not receive a P45 from them when you left? You would have then given part to your new employer and retained a part (or did you complete a P46 with your new employer?)
I don't believe a P60 can be re-issued and it only comes from the employer you are with at the end of the tax year so would have come from the employer you worked for in the April (and was probably issued around the May)

Why do they need your p60 or p45?
They should have that info already

CLAPTON

what info do you have?
P45?
payslips?
entries on bank statements?

The HMRC should already have your details.

When yu get your P45 and P60, copies are also sent to the HMRC.

I would ring them again and hopefully you'll get a nicer bod on the phone.

Tip, keep all P45s and P60s in future, and payslips for a year too.

Two reasons spring readily to mind.
1. The P60 is a receipt for tax paid and is required for a repayment.
2. The OP may have got lost in the system, transposed reference numbers, no NI number, it does happen you know.

Hmrc get all the pay/tax figures from the employer of form called a p11.
I am thinking maybe he wasn't officially on the payroll?

Hi all thanks for your responses and sorry for the delay, hmrc say that they never received the information which based on knowing how the employer works I can believe, I did not receive a p45 as apparently it got lost in the post (I honestly think was never sent) so I filled in another form when I started my next job. Going to phone hmrc tomorrow to try speak to somebody different, thanks again, jamie

Were you getting payslips? Your last payslip of the tax year has the same info as a P60, and your last payslip from an employer should give you the same info as a P45 wrt tax and NI paid.

try ringing HMRC again - it's a bit like a call centre and there's lots of people working there - some actually care and will help and then there's the ones that are just plain unhelpful or clueless so take deep breathes, keep calm and try again ;-)
