Hi there, I have a self-employed client who claim jobseekers allowance during 10/11 tax year, what would be the easiest way to get the income figure for the tax return.
I have his P45, which he got from the job centre, would it be best to use the figures from this?.
I would say yes, you would use the figures from this. When you have been claiming jsa and then you get a job, the job centre give you a P45 showing how much you have received. I assume the new employer would then use this for the payroll. (Not that I'm any expert!)
At least you get a P45 with JSA, it can be a nightmare with other benefits (and state pensions), especially when the client thinks that benefits aren't taxable!
Just about to do the return for this client in the next or so, I have another question, which part of the return would I be require to put the details from the P45 re: Job Seekers?.
