Back Pay as Lump Sum

nmehta_001

I started a new job through mid May, I was informed that I could not be paid my salary for that month as the salary calculations had already been done. The following month, June, I received my salary but also with my Back Pay as one lump sum. With this I was taxed quite highly and I'm wondering if I can get this resolved with my employer or someone else?

The tax will resolve itself at the end of the tax year.

As advised tax will sort itself out, though when will depend on several things.   If you have a P45 it will be resolved as soon as this is operated, if you have already handed in your P45 tax has probably been resolved already and the higher tax was due to either just getting two months salary or an overlap of tax periods, otherwise will resolve when HMRC know you are employed there and have issued your tax code with pay and tax details to your employer.
In circumstances like this it sometimes happens that the employer does not deduct the correct national insurance, this will not correct itself if this has happened.
