Emergency Tax Since April

lynn44

But is it correct I ticked that box in April and again in sept ??
thanks for your help advise

To be honest if that's been your only income since April 6th, the correct box to tick would have been A. That said, given that your employer lost the first two P46's, it probably wouldn't have done much good! At least you should have a bit of extra cash in time for Christmas!

Hi Lynn

Can't imagine how your being charged 68% deduction for tax and NI
If you would like to PM me with the details from your payslip I'd be happy to check it for you

Hi
yes I was on the phone to the tax office yesterday,explaining I had 68% stoppages, they said no way was that right!
so I got back on the phone to my employer (wages dept) I explained this tax and NI was already taken off me end of Oct...Oh No She said THATS CORRECT LYNN ...:mad: It is like talking to a brick wall, honestly
Sonnic I will pm you my wage slip this evening, all i received from work was little note.
Im back to work today,I usually work at the airport but I have been told to REPORT to Down town Office For return to work procedure:rolleyes:
so hopefully if they havnt lost it will have both my proper wage slips...
Oh my employer also saying they have not received my new tax code!! which is 503L .....not 503L 1 as they taxed me on last month...So hopefully tax office faxed it to my employer yesterday, will ring them today to find out if that went missing

An employer should deduct a maximum of 50% in tax, unless you specifically agree otherwise (which would be in very rare circumstances) - most payroll software automatically limits any deduction to 50% without a manual override.

It could be 50% tax and 18% national insurance but if that's the case then they can't have used the 503L/1 code.

Is it possible that they didn't deduct tax or national insurance from a previous wage, either by mistake or by agreement (such as early holiday pay), and have now taken what was due?

thanks guys for all your help.....wage office have told me this is correct deduction 68%....I really am fed up with it all...I returned to work today, to be told I am only a number and can be replaced at the click of fingers,( funny that coz i been working 7 days aweek, because WE HAVE NO STAFF) I have been told if I kick up a stick over pay being taken back out the bank then I will have to re pay the last 6 months overtime they have given me because i have been paid incorrectly!! even tho my manager has signed it off every month!!

Hoddie ..I was told they deducted tax and NI from my oct wage all I have is photocopy (as yet still not received my offical slip) my photocopy says tax code 503L 1 for oct before this (since mar/apr its been BR)
they finally admitted today they have now received my correct tax code from the tax office! so working out now my tax rebate hopefully will receive it nov's pay. but I certainly wont bank on it !!

It sounds like you work for a tinpot company.

68% cannot be just tax and national insurance if they've used either BR/1 or 503L/1, and as they've only just received the correct code, it couldn't have been that either. Your pay slip must itemise all deductions clearly or else your employer is breaking the law.

If they have made an error and have previously not deducted the right amount of tax, the first thing they should have done is contact HM Revenue & Customs - who would have told them not to collect it (you would have had to pay it but over a full 12-month period and not all at once).

If you've worked overtime and they've paid you the right amount, they cannot now decide to take it all back no matter how difficult they think you're being. If however they have paid you too much then they may have an option to ask you to repay it, I honestly don't know, best to ring ACAS about that.

Without knowing what's on all your wage slips I really can't say any more. But as I said - tinpot!!

thanks Hoddie
I will email you my photocpy I received for oct's wage and will email you the slip I received from my employer... for legal reasons im not allowed to name them.... really wish I could name and shame them, but will be back in contact with acas next week

Lyn I think you've misunderstood here. Your cheque is for 68% of your gross amount. You were paid £1201.98 less 32% tax+ni which is £817 - the amount your cheque was for.
