Can anyone explain this for me...
Permalink Closed


Why on earth this individual's pay (more over the PAYE) has differed by over 50% from last month... I've not changed ANY settings in 12 pay...

All i can think of is its worked out a refund of tax overpaid and worked it into the calculations....

Can ANYONE help please?

Hi Gary, whats the tax code for each pay period and what date did he start?   It might also be handy to know if there were year to date figures input from a P45 during the current tax year.

Regards,
Tim

Hi Gary.

Thanks for the info. I'd comment that I'm counting April as Month 1 so that July would be Month 4 and yet the P45 details has 3 in the month box.

I'll take it that he started with your firm on 1st August.

His tax code 944L would give him tax free pay of 9445 / 12 = £787 per month * 5 months = £3935 in the start month of August.

Now his earnings to date in the left payslip looks like £5466. Is that September ? If he started in August then am I right he earned nearly £4K then?

His first pay packet from me was actually September, but he came to me then and left employment with other company back in month 3 so should have been 'unemployed' for 2 months. and the tax to date was the 3949.61 as shown above ( and as shown on p45)
The 5466 is the previous employment then the 1516 i paid him on top.

Beginning to think i shouldn't have moved to 12pay from quickbooks.. :( cant even submit FPS either for some reason! (gonna need to call them i think)

Ok Ty. Their tax at £317 is ok being £3949

less free pay to month 3 of (787 x 3) = £2361
= Taxable pay £1578
x 20%
--------
£317

The £5466 states "This Employment" but no matter. Set against tax free pay to date of £787 x 6 months of £4722
= taxable pay of £741 x 20% = £149 but he's already paid £317 in the previous job meaning he should have had a
refund of £168.

I really ought to use the table function.  Anyway the employee ought to be pleased but the £300 tax figure on the left

payslip suggests that that months pay of £1516 was taxed at 20% as if on a BR wk1 code.

Tim

It looks like it the month that is throwing it out if its Oct you are doing then it should read month 7. Give them at 12 Pay a call they are really good on the phone. I had issues when I took over a payroll from someone else and they were really good with me and talked me through everything.

I have used QB's payroll in the past but I actually think 12 Pay is easier.

It looks to me as if when you entered this employee you may be double-counting their previous employment, because I would say that you've entered it both as a P45 *and* as earnings this employment. You only need to enter it once.

pm me a phone number and I'll talk you through sorting that out, which should take about 2 minutes.

I can't see a pm feature on the site (yes I know I asked for one), or your message, so feel free to send a message to tom@12pay.co.uk

to allow people to PM you go to your profile,

click settings,

Go down to Email visible to other members and choose "No, accept email anonymously"

That enables your PM facility but doesn't give your email address away.

kind regards,

Shaun.
