Delayed P45

2 Posts

Hello everyone 👋
My previous employer told me I have to wait till next payroll date to get P45 which is at end of month.
I was on 2 weeks notice and 3 days of holiday at end of notice period. Soon will be week since my last day.
I'm starting new job at Monday and my new employer need P45. Unfortunately I can't recive it...
Is it something what I could do to force my previous employer with speeding up a process?
If not, how I can protect myself from emergency tax code?

You can fill in what I think is now called a "starter checklist" which used to be know as a P46 and give that to your new employer.

That's sad...
I get that form from HR. Which technically isn't legal obligated document as can be lie on it. Also had situation in past when employer didn't use it...so anyway I had emergency tax code...
That means it's massive hole in tax system. But because government gets benefits from it, they will not willing to change it.
What tax code are you currently on?
All you can do is keep reminding them (but not to the point of making them so fed up that they deliberately drag their feet!) and fill in the form in the meantime.
So no issues with your tax that are significant
