coding notice

employee who had left

Didn't find your answer?

The employee left November 2014 (shown on RTI report). Coding notice issued by HMC September 2016. Telephoned HMRC to query - their answer: the employee has to contact them to tell them that he has left. Has anybody any experience on this?

It may be that the ex-employee has not been employed since leaving you and so, no other employer has notified him as a starter, which would replace your PAYE reference with their's. HMRC have amended his PAYE code for some reason and have notified the only employer they know.

I would not have bothered to call HMRC. As he is not now your employee, you cannot apply the new PAYE code, so just bin it.
