The Form 12A should be submitted as soon as possible to minimise the risk of ‘emergency tax’ at 42%.  Emergency tax is applied in cases where your tax credits are unclear.  If emergency tax is initially applied, the appropriate reimbursements will be made to you as soon as your tax situation is clarified.
