Tax Credits and Pension Deductions

Allybally

I hope someone can help me to clear this up.
My P60 gives a figure for Gross Pay and then a figure for Pay which is Gross Pay minus Pension Deductions but before Tax and NI.
The notes for renewing Tax Credits say not to deduct any contributions made through your employer.
My P60 says for Tax Returns or Tax Credit claims to use the figure after the Pension deductions.
I have phone Tax Credits twice and they say figure before Pension Deductions.
I dont know who to believe.
Please Help.
Sorry if this has been answered already.

AllyBally, you should be giving Tax Credits the figure for gross income minus pension contributions but before tax and national insurance are taken off, i.e. the lower figure on your P60.

My pension is paid in the same way, but my P60 only shows one amount - gross income minus pension contributions. This is the figure I give to tax credits.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I thought that was the case but just wanted a little reassurance...... which I now have. Thanks again
