Standard Payroll - entering a p45 for an employee from a previous employer

Jo-Anna Dolan · ‎July 26, 2022

Hello,

An employee started with us mid May 2022, and his P45 from his previous employer has just been given to me. How do I/what do I enter into Quickbooks Standard payroll?

Which of these options do I choose?

Other employers have paid Joe Bloggs since 6 April 2022

Your business has already paid Joe Bloggs since 6 April 2022

When he joined I obviously didn't have his P45 details, so I used 1257L W1M1 from the starter checklist, but now I have his P45 do I enter his tax code 1356L into payroll?

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thank you

Hi Jo-Anna, thanks for joining the QB Community :)

You would need to rollback the payroll to the point that the employee began and then select the option for 'other employers have paid Joe Bloggs since 6 April 2022'. Once the P45 information has been entered, you would then re-run the payroll for the periods that the employee has worked for your business, re-submitting each period as option H - correction to an earlier submission (the period will be available to resubmit from the payroll taxes tab).

W1M1 is an emergency tax code and so should be updated to the employees current tax code - if you're unsure of this we'd recommend that they confirm this with HMRC.
