New P45
March 2009
From October 2008, the new A4 size P45 will run alongside the current A5 size versions until 5 April 2009. The new A4 size versions should be used from 6 April 2009 when the existing A5 pre-printed stationery will be withdrawn. The A4 versions contain two extra fields for Date of Birth and Gender which must be completed from 6 April 2009.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) pre-printed A4 versions of form P45 are being phased in from October 2008. The A4 P45 (manual) versions of the form are available now and should be used as soon as you have used up your existing stock of the A5 version.
