Hi all.

For purposes of a mortgage application i have got all my earnings from my previous employers...during my time at WHSmith according to HM Government i earned £3250, but on my P45 it states i only earned £2250?

Have i been underpaid? Please help.

    Have you asked HM Government about the discrepancy yet?

    I will ask them tomorrow.

    Does anybody have any inclination on what it could be?

    I don't believe anyone would have an inclination.

    And who exactly is HM Government?

    Most of the government seem preoccupied with Brexit at the moment.

    You can look at your tax details online by googling 'personal tax account'.

    Are you sure you're not mixing up Gross & Take home pay? I mean your P45 and HM's records are pulled from the same data. There's also the possibility of a typo on your P45 as there is only 1 digit askew.

    You can enquire here

    I'd get the 'underpaid by £1000' out of your head lol...
    Know what you don't
