Tax for monthly wage

Morning all,

Just had my payslip for last month and noticed that I haven't payer any tax.

What do I need to do to sort this out, as I don't want a big tax bill in a few months.

Cheers

  • How much did you earn? How much have you earned year-to-date? Both these are necessary to give you an answer! Also, what is your tax code (shown on payslip). with that info someone can tell you if its correct!

    As sarahk says, more info required but my guess is you have either earned a lot less this month than in previous months or had a tax code change or started a new job having not worked for a while.

    It is very, very unlikely to be wrong. The PAYE system self corrects for cumulative tax every pay period.
  • Hi "Norhtern Monkey".

    If you are on the (standard) 747L tax code for 2011-12, you can earn (approx) £623.00 per month before paying tax. (7479/12 per month)
    So by the end of October, you can have earnt 7 x 623 = £4361 before paying tax.

    Does this help?
