P45 question

Sep 05, 2008 4 Replies

The company I work for has been sold. It is a TUPE situation so our contracts of employment have just continued on, years of continuous service etc.



The former owner has issued a P45 with the pay up to the date of transfer and the new owner will start payment from then. At the end of the year when I fill in my Tax Return (I have other income) will I just fill in the details from the P60 as normal or will I have to take this transfer into account in some way. I assume that the P60 will cover it as normal and I will only fill in one employment section- am I right?


The P60 will include income from "previous employments" in the same tax year... so just use the totals from the P60.

Strictly If the company name and / or PAYE reference changes and the fact the P45 is issued may mean you have to complete the 2 employment pages. Practically I would think completing the one employment page will not cause many problems as long as the 2 employment totals are on the P60.

p45 indicates end of employment doesn't it? Get on to a union or solicitor as you've been done. You'll lose all sorts of rights.

Not necessarily - it could be as simple as xferring to a new PAYE ref no.

The OP said it was a TUPE xfer - so the OP's relevant rights are protected.
