Set up employee with P46, then employee provides P45, what to do?

Set up employee with P46, then employee...

Didn't find your answer?

I would be grateful for advice on the following scenario:

New Employee joins my client in January 11 without P45. He ticks Statement B on the P46 and is taxed on M1 basis. P46 has been submitted to HMRC.

Today the employee provides his P45.

Should we ignore it now or should we re-run the January payroll?

Apologies if this is assumed knowledge but I admit I am not sure what to do.

Thanks for advice

Process the P45

... and submit it in February.  The PAYE code on the P45 will supersede 647L Month 1 for February and the gross pay and tax brought forward will be the total of the figures on the P45 and on the January payroll.
