Tax Code & Rebate Issue

Hope someone could provide some aadvice...

I was made redundant in November 2014.

In March 2015 I applied for a Tax Rebate using a P50 and sent off my P45 with it.

In April 2015 I started working again however without my P45 I was unable to provide enough detail to be placed on the correct Tax Code so was placed on "0T".

I contact HM Rev for an update in April and was advised that I should have a response by begining of May 2015.

Have contacted HM Rev today for an update as still have no rebate or revised P45 I have been advised that my claim is on hold till they recevie P11d from previous Employer which is not due until July 2015.

In the meantime I am left on a "0T" Tax Code as I have no P45 and no rebate. Has anyone been in a simular situation or can advise how I can get my P45 back?

  • There were a few people in my workplace that were on emergency tax codes & had no P45. I just printed off a 'Starter Checklist' for them to complete (replaced the old P46) from the HMRC website & sent it to our payroll department. They have all now been put on to the correct tax code.


    I'm not sure how much help this would be to you though as it looks like it's the P11D that is holding your code up.

    I don't understand why your new employer has put you on a 0T tax code. Your previous year's earnings have no bearing on the calculation of your current year's tax code, and I can see absolutely no reason why you should not have been on a code of 1060L.
  • I agree with agrinnall, if you completed a starter checklist, and have not received other income in this tax year you should be on 1060L/1, not 0T.

    0T is only used if payroll do not have a starter declaration
    (I can't post links yet, but a guide can be found on gov.uk under new employee tax codes)

    Sorry for the delay responding...

    I did complete a Starter Checklist when joining as I couldn't provide the P45. As I started the new position on the 01 April 2015 does that mean that my earnings would fall into the 2014-15 tax year or 2015-16?

    May query it with HR at my new job.
