Wrong NI number on payslip & Wrong Tax Code

Djmarteb

Please excuse me if I have posted this in the wrong topic!
I been in a job for 12 months and just noticed that my national insurance on my payslip is incorrect! Although my money has been goin out to the incorrect number each month and I have not received any notices of non payment to my own National insurance,
How do I correct this and will I be able to get the paments from last year transferred to my own NI.
Have also noticed that my tax code is BR under research thisalso appears to be wrong and it would appear im being underpaid, how do I correct this and can I claim back any lost wages?
Would be very grateful of any help
Think the moral of this is to pay more attention to my documents and not just throw them in the draw!!

Thanks very much for any help

Cheers again Martyn

Hi Djmarteb and welcome to the site :wave:

I think you'll get more advice over on the Tax board so I've moved the post over there for you.

Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Give your employer the correct NI number as a matter of urgency.

Further to giving your employer your correct NI no, if you have been in your job for 12 months, you should have received a P60 from your employer by (from memory) May 2008 (but usually earlier), detailing tax and NI deductions. It should also have details of the tax office to which your employer sends their annual returns. You should write to this tax office detailing your problem. DO NOT send your P60 but a photocopy - I am paranoid about sending the tax office any originals in the first instance. The photocopy will give them all the details they need to marry up with the P14 (which is the employers part of the P60 which they send off to the tax office). If you did not receive a P60 from your employer then you should have. If you have lost yours then you can ask for details (from the employers copy) but (again from memory) you will not be able to get a replacement but any good employer would be happy to give you a photocopy.

You also need to find out why you have been taxed at basic rate. Usually, this is because you have informed the tax office or your employer that you have another job in which you are using your free pay tax allowance. If this is not the case, then you may well be entitled to a tax rebate.

I hope that this helps. If you have any further queries then I will do my best to help.
