Now run an emulator within an emulator for extra acceleration.
- Comment on HMRC will close tax helpline for half the year 7 months ago:
Ah, maybe one of my experiences isn’t common. Mine started after a benefit was added and somehow not reported, which probably was my employer’s fault but I didn’t get anywhere with them. Reporting it seemed to clear it up.
I have had it where a second employer totally messed up which just involved waiting until April. Then another where a previous employer failed to produce a P45 and I just had to push them for it. Those are probably more common and, you’re right, the hotline didn’t help.
I’ve been at a small company where I’ve overheard directors talk about how they purposely didn’t produce a P45 out of spite of someone leaving. It relies on good faith far too much and is confusing to navigate.

This would really suck if you were put onto emergency tax, which temporarily takes away your tax free allowance.
The government would temporarily take £209.50 a month extra while the useless chat bot would be unable to help. After 6 months you’d be short by £1,257 which, for some, would be devastating.
