Advice on Self Assessment when had 2 employments during the year..

elliskevin77

Hi All, appreciate some guidance if anyone can help. 
I have to complete a self assessment this year and I changed jobs 3/4 of the way through the year. I am full time employed (not self employed)
Do I say I had 2 employments? I am assuming yes. 

The the form asks me to declare the income as per my P60. However on the P60 it says to use amounts from "this employment" when completing my tax return but that only covers my current employment. So I am a bit confused. Do I need to declare I changed jobs and put both figures for each job or do I just say I had 1 employment and use the "this employment" figures from the P60 as it indicates? 

Hope that makes sense. 
Cheers
Kev

You complete two employment pages, one for each employment you received earnings (or company benefits in kind) from.

Your P45 from the previous job should show the earnings from that one although if you received a payment after leaving you would also have to factor that in.

Who is asking you to complete a self-assessment?

It tends to be HMRC 😉

I changed employers in December '23 and want to complete a self assessment as I pay into a SIPP. I won't (I am fairly sure) receive a P45 as the employer change is a merger across rather than leave and hire. Would it have to be a case of taking the gross from the P60 issued by the current employer and putting FY23-24 up to December in the employer 1 section and FY23-24 Jan-Mar in the employer 2 section ? Thanks.

That in itself isn't a reason to file a return.  Have you got a valid reason for filing one?
