Redrum said:I did a job last year where I didn't give them a P45, so they applied to the tax office instead and got some other form that they needed, so it can be done. However, it took months and I was on emergency tax until then, although that got refunded when the form did come through.

Emergency tax is nowhere near 40%, it's about 22%V-Spec said:Careful, you definitley need your P45 from your previous company, for your new companies records, if your new employer doesn't know your tax code you'll automatically get put onto emergency tax which is at lease 40% and you need to faff around to get it back. providing it was a proper job with payslips and BACS transfer you should definitley have a P45, it is mandatory.
