I hope someone can clarify this for me, I have a new Client starting today who ran their pwn Payroll last week on 29 March. They have now given me a P45 for a new starter who they paid last week but didn't file the P45 online with HMRC. I now need to file the P45 but when I go onto the Employer's HMRC account it has been updated for RTI and the P45 bit has been removed from the list of forms you can submit online when you open up the relevant Employee. Do I just add them to the Employer's details Submission for RTI when I do that once Year End has been processed? I assume that HMRC will align their data to this submission, have I got that right or am I totally reading things wrong?
Ok if it was for the last tax year then the previous company will have submitted Year end figures for that employee. So all you have to do is put that person on your payroll and get them to fill out a P46 As the figures were in last tax year you can't use them anyway Hope this helps Thanks
You can still enter the P45 details in your payroll software (eg to get correct tax code for the employee so they don't need to fill in a P46) but there is no longer any way of filing them with HMRC. That is fine.
Hi thanks to both of you. Yes Tim, I did enter the details onto my software and sorted the correct tax code so at least that bit was ok and as I said it my post when I submit EAS then the data should align anyway. Just wasn't sure as couldn't find any similar scenario on the HMRC website.
Thanks again
Carrie
You cannot enter the figures from the P45 as they were in the last tax year. It all depends really what the tax code is on the P45 If it was 810L then this can just be changed to 944L Whatever tax code is on the P45 and as long as it is on an L code then just add 134 To the code.
