  • RE: P45

    Certainly! Here's a revised version with more detail: Hello, I'm facing a tax issue and need guidance. In February 2023, I resigned from my first job on the 5th and shortly after started another one. However, I left that second job soon after. Recently, I've been receiving notices from HMRC stating that I owe additional taxes, and my tax code has been adjusted for my second employment. Upon receiving a P45 from my previous employer, I realized its significance and learned that it should have been submitted to HMRC by the employer. Upon checking my HMRC account, I discovered that my first employer hadn't informed HMRC about my resignation or updated my employment status, resulting in both my first and last jobs still being listed as active. Despite requesting and receiving a P45 from my first employer and confirming they've submitted it to HMRC with the correct leaving date, my HMRC account still shows me as employed with both companies, and I'm still being taxed excessively in my current job. I'm unsure whether to send my first employment's P45 to HMRC by post or wait for the system to update. Also, I'm concerned about whether I'll receive a refund for the overpaid tax. What steps should I take to resolve this issue effectively and ensure the correct tax assessment moving forward?
