Figures on my P60 don't match my monthly income advice slips

I'm actually agreeing with you Dazed and Confused, I was replying to greenglide ��

Ok, sorry for the confusion ;-)

Ok, I've found out what Provider B have done, but have no idea why they've done it!

When preparing the P60, they've included the period April 2016 to January 2017 in the 'previous employment' totals. It should only be April 2016 to August 2016 (Provider B took over in September). Effectively, 5 months of pension payments and tax deductions have been counted twice, both as 'current pension' and 'previous employment'!

Further enquiries with my pension administrator reveal that HMRC issued an EDI communication, updating figures (previous employment figures) in January. Spoke to HMRC about this and they don't know why it was done or why the particular figures were used. The figures they have on my tax account from my last salary payment plus my pension payments are the same as mine. The HMRC Rep said she'd referred this to the back office people.

I told them I'd be submitting my tax return and that the numbers would not tie up with my P60. She said as long as I was confident of my figures then to go ahead.
