Hi all
Looking for some information please

I am trying to confirm my weekly pay as I don't think my employer is paying 
the correct amount
I work 25 hours a week at £5.52 an hour

My tax code is 522L



Can someone tell me what is my
PAYE Tax ?
National Insurance ?
Take home Pay?

Thanks
Tom

I suggest you use a free payroll calculator so you can see what goes 
into the sums.  Eg http://www.listentotaxman.com/  or 
http://www.agsdudley.co.uk/payroll_calculator.htm
 (NB not guaranteed by me to be accurate.  And they don't do pension 
contributions.   Google for others if you need them.)

Note that the weekly amounts may vary a bit during the year due to 
roundings in the tables.

What did you earn last week, and every week so far this tax year.  That
makes a difference to what your tax home pay and PAYE tax will be.

Subject to the usual provisos...

Tax approx £3.75 pw
NI approx £4.13 pw
Net Take home approx £130.12

YMMV, depending on all kinds of things...

(I am posting these questions for a friend)

Hi all thanks for all the information very much appreciated.

My friends wants to challenge there employer but wants a second opinion 
first.
She has not been getting pay slips for the last 4 months so she dous not 
know what Tax or NI she is paying.

My friend has been working for this employer for the last 2 years at minimum 
wage.
On October 2007 the National Minimum wage was increased to £5.52 an hour 
from £5.35 an hour

This would make my Gross weekly Pay £138
My estimated deductions on total Taxable of £37.52 (with Tax Code 522L)
National Insurance   £4.17
PAYE Tax Deductions  £3.74
Total Deductions  £7.91

This would result in Estimated Weekly wage of around £130.09 not the £125.71 
that my employer has been paying me resulting in an estimated shortfall of 
£4.38 a week.

Dues that sound correct to you ??????

I have another question that I would be grateful if you could help me out 
with.

My friend has started maternity leave and her employer has told her she is 
only entitled to 99.41 a week. I have been on the HMRC Statutory Maternity 
Pay Calculator (SMP) web site and it is say that she should be getting
£120.38 for the first 6 weeks
and £112.75 for the next 33 weeks.

But I don’t know if this is before National Insurance and PAYE Tax 
Deductions can someone please help me out with this thanks.

Thanks again
Tom

Tom,

Your friend needs to contact HMRC and ask them to look into it. It is 
either a case that they are not paying NMW or are using old rates/tables.

You dont mention the trade sector that your friend is working in. 
Different trades have different tricks so this could be for a variety of 
reasons. For instance, the rag trade is known to be very dodgy.

The low SMP payments suggest the former. The only way you can get this 
corrected is to ask that the employer is seen by Employer Complaiance 
staff and they can sort it out. Or, National Minimum Wage team can look 
at this but they would only look at gross wages, whereas EC will lok at 
Wages, deductions and statutory payments.

But one you establish that you are getting minimum wage as your gross pay,
then any overpayment in tax can be refunded.

Which should be automatic if the employer has sent in returns. If they 
haven't, then each employee should take their P60's to the tax office. 
This should get the tax checked and make sure that they have ben 
credited with the NI on their account.

There only seems to be a problem in the last four months.

Didn't you pst something similar in uk.law in April 2007.

No mention of a "friend" then!

Seems so Peter, a quick word with the wages dept should normally sort 
this out, but something of the OP post suggested that this was a bit 
more than that. However, the OP did not provide further info, they can 
always post again if they dont get anywhere.

On a similar topic, my wife had two friends who were Polish and worked
in this country before the recent invasion. They wanted to claim tax
back but when they showed me their payslips there were deductions but
they weren't described as tax and NI. I sent the payslips to HMRC but
they lost them and although I had made a note of the details on the
payslips I didn't copy the payslips. I think the employer was
conducting a fiddle but HMRC don't seem too bothered. How's the best
way to get this sorted out? I have used the phone lines where you
report these kinds of crime in the past but they don't tell you what
they find out.

The trouble is you are a thrid party in these circumstances and it is 
VERY unlikely that HMRC would give any feedback.

Its a shame you didn't keep copies, I might have liked to have taken a 
look myself, I am always interested in seeing what sort of things are 
out there.

Not much I can do at present, I had a new hip three weeks ago and still 
have another 4 weeks before I get a sniff of going back.
