New employees
As a new employee of the county council, you may have a form P45 if you had previous employment. Here's what you should do with it.
Part one A - keep this in a safe place, as you may need it for the completion of a tax form.
Parts two and three - these are the copies that you must pass to the Payroll Section to enable the correct amounts of income tax to be deducted from your pay. You may be put on an emergency code if your P45 is for a previous tax year.
If you do not have a form P45, you must complete a form P46 and forward it immediately to the Payroll Section. You can download a copy from the More Information section below.
It's in your interest to send in a P45 or P46 as soon as possible.
End of year information
Form P60
Soon after the end of the tax year, you will be given a Certificate of Pay and Tax (form P60). This gives details of your pay, tax, National Insurance and pension contributions for the year. You must keep this form safe, as it may be required for completing a tax return and possibly education grant forms.
Form P11D
Form P11D shows any taxable benefits you have received from the council. Once again, you will need this for completing your tax return, as it shows the profit or allowance on your mileage payment.
