P45 or lack of!
Permalink  

Hi All,

Please could someone help, I have a client who can't find their P45, but it is needed to file their self assessment online (as they were employed at the beginning of the tax year) as well as being SE'ed, I have all their pay slips but then it asks for a PAYE no for the client. Is there any way around this, does anyone have any suggestions so that I am able to move forward with this client.

1) Is the paye no shown on the payslips? some show it.
2) You could ask the client to contact his/her former employer for the number.
3) You could ring the former employer yourself and ask, I have in the past(but only if they parted on good terms)
4) You could contact the Revenue for a list of all transactions on the clients account, including paye numbers. They have supplied this to me in the past.

Yes I found the no. on a previous p60, why didn't I think of that before...thank you for the suggestion

Quick question, I take it that it is okay for me to use the clients wage slips to work out the amount paid and tax paid, then I will have to apportion the first pay slip by no of days as it part 07/08 and 08/09, just want to check this is ok and the right way of doing things.

Thank you in advance for your replies.....

Lor, yes you could use the final payslip YTD figures if you can't find the p45. The final payslip should contain the same YTD figures anyway and will show the amounts earned and tax/ni paid for that current financial year. Therefore this should be sufficient for you to complete the employment section of your self assessment tax return.

Hi, Just to make sure that I am spot on with this, there are 2 options on the clients final wage slip:

1) total gross pay TD
2) Gross for Tax TD

I would believe that it would be correct to take the 2nd option, please could someone confirm this for me, thank you in advance also!.

Take the 1st option, gross pay to date. The 2nd option is the amount that is taxed ie with the annual allowance taken off.
