To make sure your tax is dealt with properly from the start you should:

• Give your employer your PPS number and ask for your Employer's Registered Number

• Register the details of your new job with Revenue

Ideally you should take these steps as soon as you accept an offer of a job. This will give your employment and the tax office time to get things sorted.

When you’ve registered the details of your new job, Revenue will send your employer a Tax Credit Certificate showing the tax credits your employer deducts from your tax bill. Otherwise your employer will tax you on an emergency basis.
