PAYE / Deductions / Pay

PartridgePearTree

Anybody here have any knowledge on accounts / TAX?

I know a bit, but am baffled by something.

I took a part time job last year, and worked on a zero hour contract. I earned 5,201 something for the tax year from 2016 to now and I was taxed 617.40.

I started a new job with a salary on December 5th, after resigning the other job and because of the timeframe I had the wrong tax code at the new job but HMRC have confirmed that is being sorted. I'll be having that overpay on tax sorted and will be on non-cumulative from next pay.

I didn't work through November and took a month off unpaid from everything.

P/T job as of now have not sorted P45 or contacted HMRC, they are waiting for that.

That job today uploaded my final payslip and on it the net pay is 618.10 but deductions are -595.91, total earnings according to the slip are 22.19 of Holiday pay. Nothing has gone into my account as of today - but apparently the actual payday is Monday.

Total deductions are states Pay -617.40 (the tax overpay above) pension of a few £ and another item for old uniform orders owed.

Phoned work and they have no idea what the deductions are and it's worth noting that the new holiday year started on Jan 1st for them, my last holiday was October and I had worked hours to earn that time. They have asked me to take the payslip in on Monday.

This isn't a small company but an international brand.

I'm baffled. Any ideas?

The minus in front of the figure means its a payment to you, not a deduction

I would wait to see what goes inot your account on Monday, as McKneff says you should be getting a refund of the tax you paid previously (when your tax code must have been completely incorrect). However, the pay slip does sound confused, so even if the money paid to you turns out to be right it's probably worth understanding the paperwork in case of future queries.
