Ok.. having one of those days!!! PAYE question
Permalink Closed

If someone has one PAYE employment and is a sole trader, they get one P60/45. EASY!!!

Now if someone had two or more jobs in year, is the PAYE stated on the most recent P45/46 a cumulative total of all the employments before it OR is it you add every P45/46 up...??? I'm as confused as hell!

 

I've been up since the crack of a sparrows fart and my brain is mush... someone gimme a slap to snap me out of it please! :/ lol

Hi Gary

Most recent P45 'should' include the previous employment figures, that is if they left one and started the new one.

I say 'should' as I have seen a company mess up there payroll by not putting the previous employer totals in..

But, If they have 2 jobs on the go at the same time then one should be on the BR code of course and then this wont show on the P45

Easiest way to check is to try to get all the P45's and payslips to confirm once and for all....

Hope that helps a little

Jeremy

Or contact HMRC and they will send you details of what they have on file for the client by way of P60s.

You have to be registered as the agent to get the info and takes about a couple of weeks to come through.

I'm their agent so no issues there, and I've asked for P60's before, but I kinda wanted to know as soon as really, not next month LOL

Thanks both for your help, It does seem as though they are added together, as the client says they didn't earn both P45's just the total figure on the one.

Thanks again.

The key thing to look at on the P45s, when trying to see what the client earned in the year, is the "Earnings in this employment". ie Box 8 of Part 1A. You should be able to add all of those up.

But sometimes employers don't fill in things correctly in their payroll system and include earnings from previous employments in this employment.

That was half the issue Tom.... I got sent a blank bit of white paper with some 'type writer' style font with text all over the place.... upon closer inspection it SHOULD have been a pre printed leavers for from employer, but it was, asa i say, just a white bit of paper....

So I had no clue as to what i was looking at until i dug mine out and compared...! Bloody clients employers!!! lol
