Revenue has advised me that it does not issue P45 documents to taxpayers. The P45 document is provided directly to employees by employers when an employment ceases. Revenue has however written to the person in question and provided them with the required details (per Revenue’s records) in respect of the particular employment.

By way of general information, the Deputy may be interested to note that from the 2019 tax year onwards, employers are no longer required to provide employees with a P45 document at the end of an employment. The information previously provided in this document is now automatically supplied to Revenue through payroll submissions made by employers since the introduction of PAYE Modernisation on 1 January 2019. It is also planned to make this information directly available to employees via Revenue’s online systems later in the year.
