  • P85 Query around date leaving the UK and last payday in the UK

    Hi HMRC, I am moving abroad, however because I have holidays saved up I will be leaving the UK a week or so before my employment ceases in the UK. As such and due to in being late in the year I have two questions; 1) I will have to do my P85 after I leave the UK due to getting my P45 a few weeks after leaving the UK due to holidays. I wanted to ask if I need to declare my last pay as a one off payment for employment (due to being outside of the UK on payday) or as you already have a record of this from my employer history and it being on my P45 , is there any need for this? 2) Is the P85 legally mandated (I.E do we have to do this) as it is late in the tax year I cannot foresee getting a refund. Thank you in advance! Matt
