still on emergency tax

Bridge-Burner

i phoned tax office who first said just wait a month until current emoloyer updates details then the second time they said to get p45 from previous employer from the time before i claimed jsa. They seem to have jsa details. I worked for previous employer for two weeks at first, first week i was on emergency tax then i rang tax office and they put me on normal code. Then the employer got rid of me and sent p45 then i went onto jsa. Then i worked for same employer again but got put onto et because i didn't sign p46 i suppose. Now my question is should i get another p45 from them since i stopped working for them or don't you get a p45 when on emergency tax? Thanks in advance

we need to know the dates for each employment
as the new tax year starts 6th April 2013

It's normal for HMRC to keep you Emergency Tax (as to put it) for a few months after JSA. Good news is despite earning less, you get a lump sum in tax-owed when the HMRC realise what your tax-code is.

What you need to do to clear this up is:

Send your P45 to them REGISTERED MAIL
Wait 4 weeks (they say longer!) but it's 4
Call them up
ask them whats happening

thanks but that didn't answer my question which is am i due another p45 from employer since working for them twice? I got one after the first time but not the second.

If you have earned at any time more than the lower earnings limit then a P45 should be issued. In your case if you have paid emergency tax, or as I suspect 0T tax not emergency, then one should definitely have been issued.
