I am not going into the detail of why, it really would take too long. However it has come to my attention from a query to my tax office, that none of the umbrella companies I have used actually sent the P45 to HMRC when sending me my P45. The Tax office tell me there is a legal requirement to do so. They also tell me the only way it doesnt have to be sent is if you stay on the umbrella companies books as an employee. I have never left any umbrella company thinking that termination of my association with them in any way was final.
Is this legal, when you the contractor, have no idea, and would never have any idea it hasnt been sent unless the P45 form/info they should have sent in was required?
Thanks in advance
