Tax reference code

In the United Kingdom, a P45 is and was until 1 January 2019 in the Republic of Ireland the reference code of a document titled Details of employee leaving work. The term is used in British and Irish slang as a metonym for termination of employment. The equivalent slang term in the United States is "pink slip".

A P45 is issued by the employer when an employee leaves work.[1][2]

In the United Kingdom [ edit ]

In the UK, the front section, Part 1, is given by the old employer to HM Revenue and Customs, who then record the pay and tax details on to the individual's taxpayer record. Part 1A is to be retained by the employee, Part 2 retained by the new employer, and Part 3 taken by the new employer and sent to their tax office. The P45 contains details of earnings and tax paid during the tax year (tax paid in previous years is detailed on the P60 for that year).[citation needed] The "P" code refers to documents in the PAYE series, in the same way that self-assessment documents are prefixed "SA" (e.g., SA100 - Individual tax return) and tax credits paperwork is prefixed "TC" (e.g., TC600 - Tax credits application).[citation needed]

In the Republic of Ireland [ edit ]

In the Republic of Ireland, P45 was also used as a reference to a form used by the Revenue Commissioners with the same function. The administrative procedures in this area were similar; however, the form itself was different in design from the UK version. The form was eliminated from 1 January 2019, having been replaced by a real-time reporting of tax details to Revenue.[3]

In popular culture [ edit ]

On 27 June 2007, the day of his resignation as Prime Minister, Tony Blair jokingly remarked during his final Prime Minister's Questions about receiving his P45:[4][5] I received the following communication by urgent letter yesterday: "Details of employee leaving work: Surname Blair. First name T"— "It actually says 'Mr., Mrs., Miss or other'"— "This form is important to you. Take good care of it. P45." — Tony Blair, Official Report (Hansard) On 4 October 2017, at the annual Conservative Party conference in Manchester, Prime Minister Theresa May was handed a P45 form by prankster Simon Brodkin as a stunt claiming to be from then-Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. Brodkin was arrested, but no charges were brought.[6][7]

What Keyboard is used in Norway?

The Norwerty layout makes it possible to enjoy this convenience while typing in Norwegian.

The Norwerty Keyboard Layout is a software keyboard layout for efficient typing in Norwegian on US keyboards (the ANSI layout).

See also Nansi for an alternative take on Norwegian ANSI.

Based on the Swerty keyboard layout by Johan E. Gustafsson. (See also Dwerty.) The design goal for the Norwerty layout is to retain as much as possible of the standard US layout (also known as the ANSI keyboard layout), while adding the keys Æ , Ø , and Å from the standard Norwegian layout. This alternative software layout is especially useful if you are working on a US keyboard and want to write in Norwegian. Arguably, Norwerty is a better choice than the standard Norwegian layout even if you are working on a Norwegian keyboard, as it incorporates more of the superior key arrangement of the US layout. With the standard Norwegian layout, many frequently used symbols are surprisingly inconvenient to type, such as @ in email addresses, / in web addresses, and $ in programming. These conventions were set by people who used the US layout where these symbols can be typed conveniently. The Norwerty layout makes it possible to enjoy this convenience while typing in Norwegian.
