P45
P45
On your first
day, you will be asked for your P45. A P45 is a record of how much tax you have
paid on your salary so far. You receive a P45 from your previous role at the
end of employment. Your new company will need this information to send off to
HMRC so they can calculate how much to tax you each month. If you don’t have a
P45, don’t panic. You can fill in a P46 which will be used to calculate how
much you will be taxed based on your earnings.

ready for the tasks ahead and you can take note of everything you might be
likely to forget.
