Brendan said:It's the same as any other job - you will be subject to PAYE and PRSI.
The fact that it is through an agency makes it no different.
The fact that it is temporary makes it no different.
The agency will deduct emergency tax if you don't provide them with a p45.
I would suggest that you write to your employer and say that if you don't get it by Friday, you will go directly to the Revenue Commissioners and ask them to visit the employer to get the information to enable them to produce the P45 for you.

redracer said:Hi Colli Some agencies will pay you and expect you to take care of your own paye and prsi as if you were a subcontractor. I think most of them will act as your employer though and tax your gross wage no matter where you are sent to work. If they haven't sent you any paperwork yet, I would imagine that they will be looking after your tax and will need a P45 from your previous employer, deducting emergency tax until received. Your previous employer definitely has nothing to gain from witholding your P45 as he may be leaving himself open to a PAYE and/or PRSI audit. A quick call to your agency on Monday will let you know how they are handling your tax.

To avoid emergency tax just ask Revenue to issue a tax credit cert on week one basis.
the elusive P45 arrived by post today

That's a bit difficult...... I haven't received a payslip in over two years!!!!
Lorraine, I know nothing about tax issues and really haven't a clue if it's right or not. I'm going to write back to them over the weekend and ask them so explain it. COnsidering I didn't get a payslip from my previous employer for over two years, it's quite possible that it is correct.Lorraine B said:Yes colli, AFAIK its your responsibility to ensure that your employer is using the correct tax credits and deducting the correct amount of PAYE.
However, have you checked your balancing statement to be sure its correct?
howareya said:I presume you were being paid cash in hand if you weren't receiving payslip. Your employer should have paid the right tax based on your net pay received. I'd go looking for it off your old boss. Tell him it was his mistake.
threaten him by saying your going to the social welfare to complain about employee rights. Social welfare are worse than revenue.
