Receiving a P45 after the employee's first pay day
If a new starter provides a P45 after their first payday, but you have submitted the FPS for the pay period and received the employee's tax code from HMRC, you should:
-
Disregard the tax code on the P45.
-
Continue to use the tax code received from HMRC.
-
Go to Employee Details > Tax/NI > P45 Details and enter the Gross Pay and Tax Paid figures.
If you have not received a tax code from HMRC for the employee:
-
Go to Employee Details > Tax/NI and confirm the figures on the P45 are correct. Enter the relevant tax code.
-
From Employee Details > Tax/NI > P45 Details, enter the Gross Pay and Tax Paid figures from the P45.
