HMRC has made some changes to the initial developer specifications for the new A4 version of form P45 that will come into use from 27 October 2008.

The references to "taxable pay" that we queried in our newsletter three weeks ago was, in fact, an error by HMRC on the draft form. It is the employee's total pay in the employment or in the tax year to date that is entered on the form, not the employee's taxable pay.

To ensure that the printed copies of the P45 given to a leaver have exactly the same details as those shown on the Part 1 that is filed online, HMRC is recommending to developers that Parts 1A, 2 and 3 cannot be allowed to be printed unless Part 1 has been successfully submitted online and validation received from HMRC.
