kitten_caboodle · 15 Sep 2006 at 18:20

that's fine. You can fill in a P46 when you start a new job

If you need a P45 I can't help you

Brizzles · 15 Sep 2006 at 18:20

IwantanewPC · 15 Sep 2006 at 18:22

It's a form like the P45 that your new employer will give you to sign if you don't have a p45.

You can get a P46 form from the HMRC website, and you may also be able to get one from the HR department of whoever you're working for, if it has a HR department.

Edit:
Here you go:

Thanks.

I filled out and posted a P46 for the company I shortly start work for soon. Just do this and you'll have no problems and your employer will get issued the correct tax code to use for you.

I notice the P46 form has recently been made a lot better... before it asked for your signature, but not your name and address for instance (these were left for your employer to fill in, but what if you have no direct contact with the HR/paytroll dept and you have to post the form to them and they couldn't read your signature or something??). Much better now.

OT: Is it legal to have a 2nd job?

Of course, as long as you declare all the right things etc and pay all you taxes etc.

If both parties agree, I don't see why not? :confused:

kitten_caboodle · 15 Sep 2006 at 20:49

yeah you sometimes have to check with your employer, just to confirm that it doesn't interfere/clash/compete with your 1st job.

How does the amount of tax paid (percentage) within the second job, differ from the amount paid by the first job?

Is it the same percentage for both, unless the combined total enters a new tax band?

Cheers,

basically every person is entitled to a tax code of 503L and this translates to £5030 tax free pay for this current year (06/07 April 06-March 07).

so if both jobs total less than 5k then no tax would be payable
however
only the tax office could tell each of the 2 employers to share the tax code - say £2500 each and what normally happens is that job 1 gets the tax code allocated to it and the 2nd hits a BR (basic rate) tax code.
BR give no tax relief and you pay 22p on every whole pound earnt.

so if you are showing BR on your payslip and have only one job then it's deffo worth having a word with you payroll office.

one thing to note is your employer might not use your 'local' tax office - so a phone call t your local ofice might be met with 'we do not know who you are'.

all employers are issued a unique tax reference and this ref should always be used in communications with the rev.
always have your NI number close by too when calling them - they use NI number to keep their records straight as it is a unique identifier.

excellent link to find your employers tax office:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/local/individuals/index.htm

just enter the first 3 numbers of the the tax ref.
