Contact the umbrella company and ask them to put the correct date on it.

If however you didn't tell the umbrella company that you weren't going to use their services any more they may push back on this.

There's no difference WRT tax due to HMRC.

Or if you mean that your new employer might not like the look of you (wrongly) having 2 concurrent jobs, just explain the situation?

But your umbrella is your employer so if you gave them notice and left last week then the date is right? The date you finished your contract has nothing to do with surely?

You used to be able to just fill out a P46 with the details from your last payslip which should show PAYE/NI paid in the current tax year. Don't know if this is still the case but if it is then that's the way to go.

I assume even though you were still employed by your brolly, as you would not have been receiving a salary from them the emergency tax you are now paying from your premie role will be corrected in April when HMRC reconciles your P60's, you have to lump the payments from Aug to Jan, but at least you only have to wait a few months for it to be sorted

You can so but some accounts departments are lazy.

Then again I know people who have handed in P45s and been emergency taxed for the rest of a tax year.....

As long as the P45 is only for money earnt 6th April to end of contract in August, I can't see there being an issue with the HMRC.

I would as a matter of clarity ask for the P45 to be corrected though.

P46 is the way to go. Insist upon one and if you don't get it from your new emp, call HMRC and ask for one. As long as you supply the brolley's Tax Ref, your new tax office will take it up with the old one and make any rectifications to your code and what you owe, this will then be provided in a new coding notice to the new emp and you will be taxed properly according to what you have earned and paid year to date. If the period where you have been overtaxed spans a tax year end and you have overpaid, you will get last year's overpayment in the form of a chq from the tax office and this year's through the payroll.

As an additional point, if the brolly reissue you with a new p45 with a different date, they are breaking HMRC rules. You are not supposed to amend them and you cannot cancel them.
