Requesting latest P45 from Giant Group asking to pay fee

[sheddan9]

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering if someone can advice me if im wrong but here the situation.

 

I left Giant and received a P45, but there was overdue payment that was processed after my end date and ended up paying extra 2 thousand pounds in Tax.

 

I'm a limited company now, any my accountant is asking me for an up to date P45 to claim it back for me and Giant is asking for a fee. Is this right!??? what do i do...

You'd only get one p45. You only leave an employer once. What do you mean by an up to date one?

You do not need another P45 to claim it back, and to be honest your ex-employer should not provide with you an amended one even for a fee.They simply need to provide you with a letter with the following information on, which is sufficient for HMRC purposes :-

 

1. The date of the payment

 

2. The Gross amount of the payment

 

3. The amount of PAYE deducted by them

 

4. Confirmation that the payment was after you left and after your P45 had been issued

 

HMRC will accept that as proof, your accountant should know that.

Thank you for your feedback this is very helpful i will challenge this to my accountant, I asume the writing needs to be on paper or can it be an email?

You need it on their formal company letter headed paper, with the company stamp on if possible, although the stamp isn't essential.

It has happened to me a few times that I received an additional late payment that wasn't in the original P45. In this case the company should send an additional P45, not an amended one.

What you need is called a 'Statement of Earnings' and you should actually be able to get one from the Giant site (if you are still able to access it - I can access mine and I left them in August).

 

The Statement of Earnings shows how much you paid in tax and everything else the taxman needs to know.

 

I used to regularly produce these when I worked in HR and they should not cost anything.

 

Does the payslip that Giant provided for the late payment give the information you need (on the bottom right hand side of the payslip).
