Issue with salary
Discussion
Ok, going to try and explain this as best as possible.
I work for a company who sold out to another company. We used to get paid on the last working day of the month with the original company. New company changed pay date to 24th of every month.
After a while they decide to change it back to last working day. The month that this happened our payslips showed us getting paid on both the 24th and the last working day - effectively showing 13 payments over the year...lets say I get paid 1000 month - payslip showed a payment of 2000. However I only got paid 1000, but the tax that was taken off was as if I'd been paid 2000.
This meant it left me short that month and I had to get subbed from the company which was then paid back over the next few months. We were told at the end of the tax year this error would sort itself out and we would recieve a refund of the overpayment of tax.
This never happened and our company claim to not know anything more on this matter.
From what I understand now, a business can't issue an employee with a payslip that has a different amount to what they are actually paid? Is this correct?
I've tried a few times to speak to the tax office about this but not really got anywhere.
Hope this makes sense and if so can anyone shed any light?
Cheers

Your company payroll dept is incompetent. Not only will you have overpaid tax, you will also have overpaid NI (which you can't recover).
If your P60 shows the wrong amount then HMRC doesn't think you've overpaid tax and will NOT refund you.
To correct this your company needs to submit an amended end of year return.
Yes this has become quite clear since being taken over.If your P60 shows the wrong amount then HMRC doesn't think you've overpaid tax and will NOT refund you.

Is it worth talking to HMRC at all then or just trying to get the company to sort out the amended end of year return?
