Emergency Tax
Comments

Not necessarily.The emergency tax code is set each year and is a number followed by the letter L. The number is the basic Personal Allowance (£8,105 for the tax 2012-13) divided by 10. The emergency code for 2012-13 is therefore 810L.
they would have only changed it if told to

If t is a pub/bar, and the staff are paid by the landlord/landlady and not a brewery/management company, then as the management has changed, it is possible the employer has changed (despite the pub having the same name). In which case it is entirely possible the new employer has operated the 810L code on a week 1 basis due to the absence of a P45, and therefore previous pay/tax and tax code details.[SIZE=-1]To equate judgement and wisdom with occupation is at best . . . insulting.

If she's on the 810L code on a week 1 basis (emergency) and the employer has deducted £84 from £200, then the employer (or their payroll) has made a severe mistake.
810l Week 1 gives the same tax free allowance weekly as the ordinary tax code does, it just doesn't take into account what has happened fropm 6 April 2012 til now. It looks at each weeks salaries on a week by week basis for as long as it is in operation.
a code of 810L gives a tax free allowance of £155 per week.
So she is at most taxable on £45 if she was paid exactly £200.
The tax on £45 would be charged at 20%.
£45 x 20% = £9.
Even if your daughter had been put on the tax code BR, she would only have paid £40 on £200 salary.
The employer has made a serious error. Speak to the employer and ask them to resolve it.
You say the employment has recently been taken over by another tenant (is it bar work?)Assuming she is paid by the tenants and not a brewery or management company, then the old tenant should have supplied a P45. hand this into the new employer, it may jump start things.
we were just on about her p45 she hasnt received it back off old employer /manager ? should she of ? or would it go straight to new mangers ?0 -
First this is not caused by emergency tax; but to see what has caused it you have got to give full details. To start with from this payslip that has the £84 tax and the three payslips before it give the gross pay, tax paid, tax code, and tax basis (usually shows after tax code may be 1 X cumulative non-cumulative or something similar) and then most importantly the gross to date and tax to date and the previous gross and previous tax.
Also the week or month number from each payslip.0 -
If the employer has changed there will be a new PAYE ref and they have to end everyone as a leaver and set them up again with the P45 from the old companyNot necessarily.

IF they have the P45. We don't know if one was issued? We don't know if it was a scheme transfer? We don't know why the employer has deducted £84, when at worst on 810L wk1, the maximum tax on £200 would be £9.If the employer has changed there will be a new PAYE ref and they have to end everyone as a leaver and set them up again with the P45 from the old company
If they have not completed a scheme transfer, or they have not received a P45, they should issue a P46 to the employee and ask for that to be completed, but in the meantime they should operate the emergency code (810L) on a week 1 basis.[SIZE=-1]To equate judgement and wisdom with occupation is at best . . . insulting.

It depends on how the change of worshiper/management has been handled. If it is a scheme transfer there should be no P45 issued to the employee and it should all be dealt with in house between the old and new employers/payroll.we were just on about her p45 she hasnt received it back off old employer /manager ? should she of ? or would it go straight to new mangers ?
If it isn't a scheme transfer a P45 would be required and this should be issued to the employee, who then hands it to the new employer.[SIZE=-1]To equate judgement and wisdom with occupation is at best . . . insulting.
