My employer hasn’t been paying me through the books

charles19

Wondering if anyone be can help me out here. My employer had only been putting so much wages through the books. My set wages are £400p/w takehime after tax. I was always paid £300 in the bank every week and £100 cash plus  any extras I had earnt was paid in cash too. Now that the government are going to pay 80% of our wages I’ve now found out that only £300 has been declared to HMRC. Can anyone give me any advice of what’s I can do or where I stand.

You must have been a party to this? as you were avoiding paying PAYE , you should stay quiet

The government are going to pay your employer 80%, your employer is free to make it up to full pay. In this case he will get 80% of £300 back rather than 80% of £400. Make this his problem not yours. If he doesn't give you 80% of £400, tell him you will need to query this with hmrc.

have you been declaring the £100 per week cash?

If your employer is this dodgy, how confident are you that they're actually going to want to participate in the government's job retention scheme ?

OP wants their cake and eat it. Your both clearly not paying your fair share of tax and you have been party to it. You won't get 80% of the 400 for sure. HMRC will know eventually, I hope you been saving up this money
