Employer fines

[emily chave]

Are there fines for an employer if he refuses to provide a previous employee with a P45?

If your employer fails to give you a P45 after being asked to do so, you should contact your tax office as they may encourage your employer to issue a P45.

If your employer cannot be persuaded, a new employer will ask you to complete a P46 form which allows your new employer to deduct tax on an emergency code until the right amount of tax to be deducted is worked out.
