P45?

Farside

Can someone advise..

I left employer number 1, I started a new job with employer number 2, this was 2 weeks ago now.

I could not get my P45 from employer 1 to give to employer 2 until payday which is the end of this month (28th).

I will be leaving employer 2 job tomorrow after 2 weeks there and moving onto another job, employer 3, I will receive my last payslip and P45 from employer 1 within the next few days, so do I pass it on to employer number 2 (who I leave tomorrow) or just pass it straight to job number 3?

Thanks

If employer 2 will use the information on the P45 when they calculate your next (final?) pay then that should be fine to pass it onto them.

But if there is a chance they won't use it then I think you would be best not giving it to anyone but ask employer 3 for a "new starter" form which is an alternative to handing them a P45.

Giving employer 3 the P45 from either employer 1 or 2 when it doesn't include full details from both jobs (1 and 2) will likely mean you will end up owing HMRC tax.

Thanks, I'll print off the new starter form from the HMRC website and give it to employer number 3
