winnie&bezza Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Evening all. This weeks wages are £3 shorter than they usually are and am wondering if anyone with more knowledge can tell me a reason why this could be before I ring up boss? Tax? My wages only ever differ by 20p. Cheers Edited November 11, 2016 by winnie&bezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelongwayup Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 You'll have to help us out a bit first. Are you salaried or paid weekly/ monthly? Bonus scheme? Late for work at all? Quiet week at work etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late for work at all? Quiet week at work etc? Sorry yes I should of. Paid weekly PAYE. Fixed wage every week. No other bonus,late pay or anything else.

Thelongwayup Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Guessing an admin error then? If your wage is set each week and you have had no alterations to it or your timekeeping etc then speak to your accounts dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Well I've heard people say about tax correcting itself but not sure about all that. Yes it looks like a phone call to boss it is then. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Starting point,has the tax code changed,have you checked? Check the code on your payslip 1st,should be 1100L if your bog standard with no company benifits or releifs.Then do a TT check on the Gov.uk website or check your PTA if you have one. Loads of issues at the moment with employers messing up RTI at the moment. See RTI errors everyday,Real Time Information is where the employer/payroll send details too the Tax Office either weelky or monthly.Some employers are struggling to get to grips with it so subsiquently adjust which sees a change in an employees wage that month or week.We have tried to educated employers payroll but,well sometimes its like braying you head off a wall. Has one empiyer last week,who mucked up all the staffs wages,ovwr 1000 employees ebded up on BR basic rate.All because the junior in payroll left a gap in the individual epmloyees works number.For example a work number of 12345, changed to 12 345.But because there was no P45 submission for the previous RTI,it created a duplicate employment with the same employer.Effectivly the employee now has 2 employments with the same employer now.HMRC will automatically issue a BR for the secondary source.The employer then opperates BR if not picked up by anyone with experiance in payroll.But if there is someone with experiance the problem initally would of happened.

I wouldn't know if it's changed at the moment as I only saw difference when looking in my account and I don't get the slips every week. Usually get a big bunch of slips every 3 months or so!. I was 1060L before I had a raise about 2 months ago and don't think I've had a slip since then. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) 1060L is last years code (PA was 10600),your employer should of been using 1100L from 6/4/16 (PA 11000).You need to speak with payroll.

To be honest it probably is 1100L as I don't really check and just get complacent. Yes I'm bad. Will find one this years slips to check.

Will find one this years slips to check.Have you considered opening a PTA (Personal Tax Account.Its free,everyone in the UK will have one by 2020.You can view your Tax codes,State pension forcast,check for missing NI contributions along with many other functions.You can update your code with Med insurance or Company Car.Submit Eforms for repayments for Psubs & FRE's.In the future (very near future) the self assesment tax return as we know it will dissapear and Self employed and SA people will be doing their accounts through the PTA on possible a quartly basis.Go to Gov.uk/personal-tax-account.For those receiving Tax Credits/Universal Credit you will be able to do changes of circumstances ect yourself and see the immediate effect it will have on your payments.You will be able to check when your next payments are due.There will be no need for any further Annual Delarations as the TPA will have access to your RTI (empoloyers payroll) and adjust you tax credits depending on your wages.This should stop claimants ending up Overpaid where you have to pay monies back.It will also have access to the quarterly Tax Return submissions that the self empoloyed have submitted and adjust their payments in line with their income.
