Employer paid bonus without taxing tax off? payslip wrong?

Hi,

I was due a £1800 bonus from work for hitting some sales targets last year.

I advised I wanted it via PAYE - it was paid directly into my bank account as £1800 without anything deducted.

I was told it would show in my next payslip. I've got my payslip and it shows the bonus as £3506.46, my net pay for the month is shown as the usual amount, with £1800 added.

Has my employer paid the tax etc. to leave me with the actual sum of £1800?

Thanks in advance.

    It seems quite likely but without the full information it's inpossible to be sure. If you tell us your gross pay, tax, NI, year to date pay and tax code then we can do the necessary calculation.

    Or you could just ask your employer...
  • It sound like you received a £3.5k bonus which after tax, NIC has been deducted from you has resulted in you getting £1800 net but as agrinnall says only your employer can tell you for certain.

    You need to look and compare(to other months) the Tax, NI lines, and the cumulative values on the payslip.
