Good evening everyone. Pls I want someone to give me a brief estimate of the percentage of tax and NI that is supposed to be deducted from the gross income of someone earning a gross amount of 860 pounds per week( working 10 hours daily on an hourly rate of 11.45 pounds) for 6 days a week.

I want to knw dis because I realize that I'm charged an exurbitant amount weekly which is more than the stated 20% I used to hear.
Thanks

This must be Indian magic. Exchange rate is now £1=860. This is the best time to send money home

Is this your first or second job?
Have you previously left a job and you have not asked for form P45?
If your employer put you on a pension scheme, total deductions can also go up
Get in touch with HMRC and let them know your primary job and if there is need to change your tax code

Travel together to pick up BRP - funds
Take children back - funds
And then bring them back after 6 months - funds

Tell me this isn’t what you advising after she said “no funds to travel together” in the first instance?
Didnt notice the bolded but if they have funds, that would be my advice though.

Thanks for the response. Actually, this is my first job, nd my accumulated income since August till now is not up to 12,000 pounds yet.
I called d HMRC to inform them abt this development, but they were giving me some unreasonable excuses that they have to divide the expected accumulated taxable income by 2 and that since my accumulated income is more than 6000 pounds presently that I have to start paying tax. This explanation is not yet clear to me though

Thanks for sharing

Whether its fake or not .... HRMC system is increasingly digitised. If you work more than 20 hours it would easily be flagged up

Its not worth it, plan well and stick to the terms of your visa

The explanation may be this:

1. You are liable to tax once your income exceeds 12,570 pounds per tax year (April 6 to April 5).
2. Your employer enrols you for PAYE and deducts a basic rate (20%) from your pay each month.
3. At the end of the tax year, if your income did not exceed 12,570 pounds, HMRC will return the monies deducted from your pay to you.
4. Stop disturbing HMRC.

HR guy talk say make you stop dey disturb HMRC cheesy
That last sentence though... is that your workplace? Have you guys been inundated with calls? cheesy cheesy

Neways he is right, no fear. Just wait until tax year is done. They'd definitely refund you any excess tax. Just dey work dey go. And tax refund is sweet ooo... just ask anybody wey don collect am before. Adjust your mindset to your current earnings and smile with joy when tax refund comes. I know, was in same situation last year grin
