What is the HMRC Starter Checklist?
The HMRC Starter Checklist is the form used in the UK when a new employee starts work without a P45 from their previous employer. It allows the new employer to apply the correct PAYE tax code from day one.
It captures personal details, student loan information, statement A/B/C category, and helps HMRC identify whether the employee should be on a basic rate, emergency or other tax code.
Choosing the correct A/B/C statement is critical: a wrong statement can lead to overpaying or underpaying tax during the year.
When should you use this checklist?
Use this document if you:
- You are starting a new job and don't have a P45 from your previous employer
- You have lost your P45 or it has not arrived from your previous employer
- Your new employer has asked you to complete a Starter Checklist
- You're starting a second job in addition to an existing one
- You're returning to work after time away (career break, parental leave)

HMRC Starter Checklist online: get the right tax code from day one
The HMRC Starter Checklist is the form completed by a new UK employee who does not have a P45 from a previous job. It enables the employer to put the employee on the correct PAYE tax code and to make accurate Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC.
Our editor lets you complete the Starter Checklist online: personal details, National Insurance number, employment statement (A, B or C), student loan information and pension details. Once finished, the PDF is ready to share with your employer's payroll team.
Choosing the correct A/B/C statement matters: an incorrect statement leads to a wrong tax code, which can result in overpaying or underpaying tax. If you are unsure, ask your payroll team or check the guidance on the HMRC website.
