Self-employed with a second PAYE job so have no P45 to give new employer

What happens if I don’t have a P45?

If you don’t have a P45 to give to a new employer, the new employer should ask you to complete a starter checklist. If they don’t, print one off, complete it and give it to your new employer anyway. The phrase P46 is still sometimes used to refer to the starter checklist.
