The UK tax year starts from 6th April and ends on 5th April. If you have just arrived in the UK, and intending on working via PAYE (Pay As You Earn) you will need to complete a P46 which can be obtained from Witan Jardine. You will also need a National Insurance Number (NI) that contributes towards paying social security and other benefits, such as free hospital and doctor services.
If you have already worked in the UK, you will need to provide us with your P45. This shows information relating to previous earnings, tax and National Insurance deductions. Your P45 should be obtained from your previous employer each time you work and given to your new employer.
For more information on obtaining a National Insurance number you will need to contact the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) at www.dwp.gov.uk
Your NI number will be posted to you in 12-14 weeks. However in the meantime you will be given a temporary NI Number. Should any complications arise which result in you needing to meet with a DHSS consultant, you will need to provide proof of employment – i.e. pay slip or letter of registration.
