Hi everyone,

 

My son works for a sole trader and yesterday informed my son that due to a PAYE error (which he admits was his mistake) my son had underpaid tax for the past three months and an amendment would be made to this months wages.

 

This morning he checked his pay with the bank and found that his employer had deducted almost £1,000 as the unpaid tax (incidently, he only pays about £1200 for the whole year.

 

He is now left with insufficient funds to pay his rent and other essential bills.

 

His boss freely admits that the error is fully his error.

 

The HMRC haven't notified my son or the employer.

Thats bad PAYE Admin right there. They are supposed to deduct it equally over the remaining tax year to a degree. It may overflow into the next tax year if it is too much.

He needs to take this up with Payroll and they should amend accordingly.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks fkofilee,

 

He's still waiting a reply from his employer.

 

We have gone through his payslips and have found the error ourselves, for the past few months instead of tax being deducted he has been having that amount as tax refunded - his employer has admitted that there was a problem with the PAYE software he uses to calculate staff pay.

 

Lesson for our son to always check the full payslip and not just the NETT pay - thing we all fell in to that trap in our younger days :roll:

His employer will be using RTI and depending on how he has made the entry will depend on what it says has to be paid for Tax & NI. The employer would have been better contacting HMRC for help as he may be able to change the weekly summaries. Has there been a big change in your sons tax code?

In short... Yes there will be...

Ask him to speak to HMRC in this case for an update on the tax code...

You can use this to calculate what should be stopped each week and although we are on Week 35 you can change the date & week number to go back to the beginning of the tax year.
