Starting a new job mid-year

Register the job in myAccount so your employer gets your credits and you avoid emergency tax.

When you start, give your employer your PPS number and register the job in myAccount (Jobs and Pensions). Revenue then sends your employer a payroll notification with your credits and band. Until it does, your employer has to use emergency tax.

PAYE looks at your whole year so far. So credits you didn't use while you weren't working carry into the new job. Your first payslips often show little or no income tax.
