in Cutting tax
Recently changed jobs and was handed my P45 but the national insurance number is 1 number wrong. what do i do?
I worked at the company for around 2.5 years and noticed anything on my P60 or pay slips. When I was handed my P45, I noticed that my NI number is one number wrong.

do you have any payslips you can check? how big a company is it - a small place might be simply typing things out and it's a simple typo that they can reissue.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Your correct NI number should be sent by HMRC to your new employer when they do their first submission with you in their data. We have employees who write their NI number incorrectly & HMRC finds the correct one & we change it.Lewis_Edwards said:

The OP needs to check if the wrong NI number has been used by his old employer for his NI contributions as , if so, they will have been credited to the wrong person.1

Hi, you can always login to your personal tax account on the HMRC site and send them a message about it. It won't hurt and it may even help.
I've often done that when I've had a problem or query. They do actually respond quite quickly, in my experience. And you have nothing to lose.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts. Although I do carry out careful research before posting and never intend to mislead or supply out-of-date or incorrect information, please do not rely 100% on what you are reading.

Where exactly is the option to send HMRC a message from your personal tax account? I have previously searched for such a facility but couldn't find it & have just double checked & can find nowhere that I can submit a message to HMRC.MalMonroe said:Hi, you can always login to your personal tax account on the HMRC site and send them a message about it.
