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

Travel/medical insurance for elderly visitors!

Anyone with experience on the above should please help on how to navigate around the 3 months validity on travel insurance for visitors if the plan is to stay for more than 3 months.

Thanks for the response. Actually, this is my first job, and 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

Example 3
If your tax code is BR this means that your have another job where you have used up your personal allowance and you will not have any personal allowance in this new job, so your money will be taxed without any personal allowance.

Also when it comes to phoning the HMRC it depends on who you talk to. Like most government departments, some of their staff are very unhelpful and try to fob you off. While you will get that one staff who will take their time to help you and explain to you in such a way that you will understand. If you get one unhelpful person hang up and phone again until you can get help. Unfortunately in my line of work we have to deal with the HMRC and most of their staff are utterly useless. Sometimes it’s like dealing with the Nigerian civil service.

Your personal allowance of £12,500 e.g before tax has to be divided by 12 if you are paid monthly or by 52 if you are paid weekly for e.g. let us assume that your tax code has got a M1 or W1 at the end, it will not be accumulated if you joined your job midway through the tax year.

Example 1
Someone with tax code 1250LM1 joins 6 months into the tax year, your personal allowance will be £12,500 divided by 12 . (£1,041.67 ) before tax is deducted on a monthly basis.

Example 2
If your tax code is 1250L and you join your job 6 months into the tax year you will have to accumulate a personal income of £1,041.67x6 (£6,250), before any tax is deducted. You might end up not having any tax deducted in your first months pay.

Example 3
If your tax code is BR this means that your have another job where you have used up your personal allowance and you will not have any personal allowance in this new job, so your money will be taxed without any personal allowance.
To avoid this kind of situation you can either ask your new employer to give you a P46 to sign . On that form make sure you tick statement B stating that this is your main job. Or you can phone the HMRC with your new employer’s PAYE reference code and they will adjust it for you by sending them a tax code notification.

God bless you for this piece! I was just about seeking clarity on dealing with HMRC. I have been on BR tax code since April 2022 which I have been chasing them. I was told I have 2 conflicting records on their system which they have to harmonize and this should be done by October. However, I just got by October payslip and I am still on the BR code. I am really tired of these people ooo....

Wow!!!
Thanks for taking ur time to painstakingly explain this to me. I'm so grateful. Thanks alot

AlphaUno:



I quite agree on the bolded.
Some of them are either greenhorns or haven’t been properly trained in complex tax matters.

One of their staff I spoke with one time was asking to get back to my employer, what she could easily have done from her end.
It’s better she calls again to understand what the explanation is and know her tax code(s)

AlphaUno:



Did your first employer when you got here opened tax record for you b4 your NI was issued ?
That could explain your situation

phyl123:


Amen, you are most welcome.

Ask your employer to give you a P46 form to fill out or phone HMRC and give them your new Employers paye reference. Tell them that this is your only and main job. They should be able to rectify it immediately. These days payroll is done in real-time so you don’t have to wait till the end of the year to get your tax code adjusted.

Hwy9:


I can remember filling the P46 form when I joined. I was initially on the correct tax code. However, in April (new tax year) it changed to BR. Do I have to do the P46 again?

phyl123:


No you don’t need to.

When you filled it out, what statement did you tick?

Have you got any other source of income or at any time, did you have more than one job?

If this is your only job, you need to phone HMRC and let them know. Your employer can’t do much as they can only change your code once they get a notification from HMRC.

Dear People. Does anyone know if there’s a dedicated job board for Engineering Jobs in the UK like we have for the NHS?

Gemma11:


Have you googled?

Mamatukwas:


I have. Indeed, Reed, Total Jobs & Linkedin are fighting for Space on the results page. I’m hoping that someone in that field can share the main go-to place if it exists.
