Receiving P45 after the employee's first pay day
If a new starter gives you a P45 after their first pay-day, but you have already submitted the FPS for that pay period, and you have already 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.
-
Enter the Gross Pay and Tax Paid figures from the P45 in Employee Details > To Date tab > Previous Employment.
However, if you have not yet received a tax code from HMRC for the employee:
-
Confirm the figures on the P45 are correct and enter the relevant tax code in Employee Details > Tax/NI tab.
-
Enter the Gross Pay and Tax Paid figures from the P45 in Employee Details > To Date tab > Previous Employment.
