Employer not paying Tax

This sounds like it COULD just be a case of new accountant and management getting their wires crossed about who is responsible for what. With RTI though I am really surprised HMRC have not been on chasing. Although I assume the longer they leave it the bigger the fine!

It could even be that the accountant has been given the wrong reference.

who ever is responsible for the pay role submits the rti there is no way anyone could get their wires crossed.The fines /penalties will be increasing every month , however HMRC won't be letting it ride so they can hopefully collect more money , if they haven't been paid since may I would expect a winding up order soon.
OP , if HMRC has a record of you and your employees working for this company , then there is no way that some of you have tax paid and others don't , it doesn't work that way.

The employer could easily be sending RTI returns for some employees but not others.

It seems clear that something has gone wrong since the new accountant started. It would seem to be a sensible idea to mention the issue to someone in authority (not the accountant - just in case). After all their tax and NI may not be being paid either. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that HMRC are on the phone this morning though.

ETA - has anyone checked to see if their pension payments are being made into their pension?

It certainly can.

Depending on the tax code, some people can be paying tax and some might not (there is a tax free code). Also, low earners can have no tax deducted.

I would take it that you typed that whilst confused or inebriated?
