P46 Question

[Lewis]

Ring you tax office, tell 'em what happened and request a code. She should get either 603L (or similar) if this is her main job or BR if not. You may have already got a notice of coding for her this year if a tax return was filled in or she was submitted on the P35's.

Thanks ASB. I called and they said I need to send P46 to them so I completed via PAYE online just now.

Quick question .... my wife is on the company payroll. Due to an employement gap she joined with a P46 rather than a P45. I didn't send it to HMRC as she was paid below the PAYE threshold. This was the last tax year.

However a few months ago I increased her salary into the PAYE threshold. I didn't send the P46 (I had forgotten about it). The form relates to a previous tax year so I am not sure what I need to do now (if anything).

Do I send in the P46 (even though it is a previous tax year), do it via PAYE online or do nothing. She is setup as an employee on my PAYE online and has had a P14 submitted for last year.

One extra complication, she is soon to stop doing company work and so will be getting a P45 in the next couple of days. It is this that reminded me of the P46.

Accountant says to just send in her P45. I just want to double check that it is ok to ignore the P46.

Advice appreciated as always.
