P45 missing info causing headaches

When I left my previous job it took a long time to get my P45 through and when it did it didn't have the total pay and total tax to date figures. I've since had them through but just in an email. I'm now on an emergency tax code.
Is it worth me telling HMRC the numbers they eventually gave me or does it need to be included in a proper P45 document?
Not entirely sure if this is the right place for this but if not can a mod please move? Thanks.

Definitely. It'll put you on a fairly accurate tax code. At least you won't be on BR tax code and get charged 20% on your whole income.
Even a new version of a P46 (Starter Checklist) will be helpful.
You may owe a bit of tax or are owed a bit of tax at the end of the tax year without the P45, but at least you won't be so out of pocket.
Here's the form:

The emergency tax code is 1250L, not BR.
Maybe the op could explain what the actual tax code being used is?0 -

Which will have come from HMRC so it will be them you need to speak to if you think it is wrong for some reason. They have most likely issued that code based on the income and tax information they have received from both your old and new employers. Is that code causing too much to be deducted ?Ransom_Dry_Elk wrote: »It's recently been changed to 1034 L X0 -
It could be that the op was paid twice in one tax month, once by each employer, and HMRC are now collecting the tax the op owes by reducing the tax code from 1250L to 1034L.
But without much more information it's all guesswork and assumptions really.0
