Problems with an ex-boss
So aside from the fact he still owes me expenses and never paid me overtime he said he would, he never got me a P45 when I left and told me he would but it never materialised. Anyway, I asked the tax office to see what I was due back from not working a full year last year and I had a letter to pretty much say I'd only earned one months salary instead of the six I was there. I told them they must have it wrong so they said ask my old boss to get me a P45 and to write to them even if he couldn't with his name and address.
So, I sent him a message cos that company is closed now (apparently) to ask what address they could write to him just for him to prove to them I worked there for longer and he's refusing to give me an address. Now I've really pushed him for it and he's given me an old address that I'm pretty sure no one lives at anymore, he's obviously avoiding them for a reason but this is just about my own tax nothing to do with him.
STUPID IDIOTHOLE.
kick through his balls
Give me his full name. I'll pay him a visit,
you'll get your money.
can i come
you want to troll a P45 out of someone?
I'm no sure that that is even possible.
seriously though, you need to look at legal options,
do you have much dirt on him?
I didn't even have an employment contract with him :(
I'm a bit dim (as you know)
is there a specific reason why he wouldn't give you a P45? Like he never announced you as working for them, so just paid you less?
he said he was sorting it for me but never did
so maybe he was just taking it off me for himself, I don't know.
I guess the issue would be, if he employed you as essencially 'cash in hand'
without you knowing it, you'll never get a p45 for it?
I'm going to kill him
then call me in a panic about how to get rid of the body,
and you'll come over and I'll sort it out, like in Pulp Fiction.
I know how to get rid of the body
I've had the perfect murder planned for years....kill them in a pork scratching factory. Body will then be made into scratchings. I had the idea in the Lass O'Gowrie after a friend ate one that was exactly the shape of a human ear.
get down the Citizens Advice Bureau
It might be about your tax,
but it will be him/the company who will have had to pay it to HMRC.
Sounds like he's going to be in a bit of trouble with The Revenue.
he shut down the company to avoid paying any of the freelancers
who did work for him, and paying me. But I'm sure he was straight up in terms of tax and what not. Well, it always got taken off my pay anyway!
It's taken off your pay, then he should pay it on to the revenue for you
Seems like he didn't bother with the second part. Presumably that means that he didn't declare your tax either which is why he can't get you a p45.
Do you still have all your payslips?
never got payslips
it was just me and him in the company, I got the money in my account but there was no payslips involved :(
Then you can't prove you've paid tax on these earnings.
If you weren't on payroll you would probably have needed to be invoicing him for the work and then declaring your earnings and paying your own tax.
oh man
But to my knowledge I was on payroll, he paid me my wages minus tax.
If you were on payroll, he has to give you payslips.
How long did you work there? Do you have any P60s? They'd prove you were on payroll.
You probably need to speak to someone other than me as my payroll knowledge is limited and I'm not in any way qualified, but I'd be worried if you have no proof of your paying any tax in his employment.
Can this new company not just accept a P46? Might be easier and cheaper option. At the same time, ignoring it might be more dangerous in the long run.
It was just his company
I don't think he did anything by the book in the end.
I don't need the P45 for a new company - I need it for the tax office so they can issue the right taxback I'm owed.
Sorry, I forgot, you did say that.
Well then I think you have to weigh up whether it's worth trying to claim some tax you have no proof of paying, when you could in fact be putting yourself in a situation where you have to pay a whole load of tax which you actually owe.
oh JFC
I'm so poor, I was really relying on getting this back. Gah!
make an anonymous call about him suspiciously hanging around outside primary schools
seriously though, if you have reason to believe he's in the tax evasion lark then report him to http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Taxes/ContactOrDealWithHMRC/DG_10010579
or say to him that you'll report if he doesn't get your shit to you
Watchdog
Anne Robinson will be all over that shit
he's got weirder and weirder, that guy
think your best bet is to level with the tax man about it and they'll likely help you
I enjoy his lies and then seeing him totally contradict them on his facebook feed
Oh, hayley, I'm too poor to eat to give you that money I owe you.
xxx is now at the Hilton Hotel - drinking champers with xxx LOL
burn his face
