P45 tax code

Can I give my new employer my tax code from my last payslip if I don't have my P45 yet would that work? To avoid emergency tax

If you complete a starter checklist (which they will supply) that'll do the trick: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/starter-checklist-for-paye

Which will probably still result in emergency tax.

But you cannot use your payslip op.

Why do you not have your P45?

The emergency tax code is 1257L.

What tax code is on your payslip?

If you don't have it on your first day, you can always give it in later. However it will only be any use to your new employer if they can act on the information before the end of the tax year, and time may be running out for that.

You can complete online using the link above - no need to wait for your new employer to supply it.

Complete the new starter form correctly and you'll be on 1257LX.

Why do you not have your P45? 

becasue you donl;t get your P45 until after your last  payday, which if you are unlucky can be nearly 2 months after starting a new role if you  start mid month
