Incorrect forms P45

November 29, 2010

When the Tax Office receives a form P45 that indicates an employee has died, it will pass the date of death details on to the Tax Credits department and the DWP for State Pension purposes. This creates huge problems for the individual where the employer has entered a date of death on the P45 form in error. Please take extra care when completing forms P45, and remember all employers will have to file all their forms P45 and P46 online from 6 April 2011.
