P45 advice please

Van Hellseek · 3 Jul 2008 at 13:42

I just left a job and moved house at the same time. My P45 will be sent to my old address.

My ex-landlord was an ass, and if possible I don't want any more contact with him, or the old house whatsoever. So I'd like to get one sent to my new address.

So who do I contact to do this? My old employer or somewhere else? :confused:

My mistake, i meant a P46 (Form for employee without a P45)

I don't think you fill in the P60, you have it sent to you the same as the P45.

Corrected above, thanks.

Well this is what I want to avoid... A P46 will put me on 'emergency tax' and I'll end up paying more tax than I should.

Only way to make sure everything is correct is to get my P45 and hand that to my new employer.

get your post redirected?

It's your employer who writes your P45. Ask them for another and see what they say.

You could fill in a P46, but it'd put you on a Month1 basis and will probably mean you end up over or underpaying your tax for the year.

Is your previous address vacant or is someone living there, could you get it forwarded or go and pick it up ?

Even though you dont get on with the LL, its the easiest way to retreive it.

Don't think I'll have anything else important going to that address so probably isn't worth the money. How much does that cost anyway?

Others are living there, but as I said, it was a bad experience so ideally I don't want to have any further contact with the landlord/house at all if possible.

P46 is rubbish, it basically declares you've had another job - but doesn't include earnings to date, and puts you on a non-cumulative tax code

Speak to your employers, they can legally issue a duplicate P45.

Thanks, I'll do this.
