One of my employees started with us by ticking Box B on the P46 indicating 747 M1. The employee is part time with us. Now the employee has got a full time job some where else and she wants to change the tax code with us to BR. Whats the best way to deal with this? Ask her to fill her a new p46 as her circumstances changed and post this to HMRC. Or should i ask the employee to contact the HMRC directly and do the needful?
You can only amend an employees tax code when instructed by HMRC, so she will need to contact them and get them to issue new codes based on her amended circumstances.

Thanks for the reply. So literally, its the employee's duty to get in touch with the HMRC to get the tax codes changed when their circumstances change and employer acts based on the P6 received, correct? Yes, we do submit the p46's online, its less hazzle.
Thank you Don. 1 quickie, is this the same if an employee thinks, he/she has filled in the p46 and ticked on the wrong box. for instance ticked C instead of B?
Is this for real? Well, I've heard that there is a change in tax marriage codes too. Millions get wed yearly despite conventional wisdom stressing surely it is a negative move. There is also a tax implication for newlyweds and already extant married couples called the marriage penalty, where a couple owes more in taxes. The marriage penalty is in flux, as altering tax codes alter who will get hit with it and who won't yearly.
thank you for your comment but this is primarily a UK site so American tax laws do not apply to the vast majority of the readership.
Also, what has an American Marriage tax got to do with the thread? (says the person more guilty than most of taking threads off topic).
by the way, in the UK even in marriage the tax system treats people as individuals (except in the case of some elderly married couples)
