Lost P45

What is lost p45?

A P45 is a form provided by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the United Kingdom to employees who leave their job. It is an important document that shows how much tax an employee has paid during the tax year, as well as their employment details.

What are the types of lost p45?

There are two types of lost P45: 1. Lost P45 from a previous employer: If you have misplaced the P45 form provided by your previous employer, you will need to contact them to obtain a new copy. 2. Lost P45 from your current employer: If you have lost the P45 form provided by your current employer and you have left the job, you will need to reach out to your employer's HR department or payroll team to request a replacement.

Very speedy response time!
Very speedy response time! I work for a Charity and did not cancel my subscription in time. However, true to their word, pdfFiller responded to my request to refund (didn't have the correct form I needed) within an hour. I was really impressed and very grateful that they will refund this charge. Even though I didn't use them, I would definitely recommend them. They came across as quite honourable which makes a change these days...
