Submitting a P46 to ROS

This utility facilitates the submission of one new employee who does not have a P45 from their previous employment, through ROS. The new employee must be entered in the Add/Amend Employees section before proceeding. For assistance with this click here

Important Notes

• A P46 should only be submitted to Revenue where a P45 has not been received from the new employee and the new employee hasn't registered their new employment themselves through Revenue's 'myAccount' service. If you have received a P45 from the new employee, then a P45 Part 3 must be submitted instead.
   
• The submission of the P46 will result in Revenue issuing a Tax Credit Certificate to the new employer (P2C via ROS).
  
  
• All P46 submissions must include a valid employee PPS number. Revenue and ROS will not accept these submissions without a PPSN.
