P45 Issue

I have just started a new position with a new Company. My start date was 15th May and I sent my P45 to my new employer. The payroll department said that I had missed the payroll cut off date and that I must now send my P45 to the HMRC. See comments below:- Payroll Response Payroll has already been run. Once we have submitted a RTI to hmrc then they wont get any further figures till the following month so that is why i have suggested you contact HMRC so that they have your figures and they can make sure you are on the correct tax code. If you wait for us to send the RTI in June and you are due a tax code change this wont come to us until at least July. In View of the above can you confirm and advise where I need to send my P45 to.

Hi,

HMRC should receive the P45 information electronically from your previous employer. In order to update your tax code, you will need to contact us after you have received your first pay to allow us to amend the code.

Thank you.

I also have a problem with P45. I left my last job on 1st May 2023 and started my new job on around 20 May 2023. My previous employer did not issue me a P45 and neither informed HMRC that I left the job. I now ended up paying too much tax for the past 6 months. I have called HMRC and they told me they had no record of me leaving my previous job and that I must provide them with a P45. So I have now requested the P45 which I have with me. I have called HMRC after being in the queue for more than an 1 hour and they said my employer should deal with it. My employer told me they cant and I must send the P45 to HMRC directly. Can you please let me know where do I send this? I only work part time and I am a mother and on a salary of £600 a month I been paying almost £200 of tax every month. I need this money back please.
