A little help

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say, if you have earned more than 6470 this year, then you start getting taxed 22% as far as I know. 22% of your wage this month is pretty much what your tax has come to.

Nah I'm not saying that's the complete answer, because if you have actually been taxed that much then it's definitely wrong somewhere else too.

You are a student, so you shouldn't be getting taxed that much anyway. I'm not a tax man, though, so can't go into any more detail. You just gotta call your tax office, or ask the person who deals with it at work.

Yeah it's just so frustrating, the managers at my work are all the time trying to rip people of their wages, it's really starting to do my head in. They ask you to do overtime yet they refuse to pay. A while back I had to see the personnel manager about it and she paid me my backlog of £575.

Alright, but what about the NI's? Is that normal to be paying that much in my situation?
 
One thing people at work always fail to mention is you can call your tax office directly. They will more than likely be able to answer any question you have. However, like all things to do with the government - mainly because of their overly convoluted systems - you sometimes might as well ask the candlestick maker.
 
The reality at Tesco is a bazillion miles away from there Induction videos & adverts. Your only chance is to make direct contact with the wages woman & ask her if she has lost weight lately.
 
If it's a tax issue, it has nothing to do with the company calculating your wage, afaik(?)

Just wondering.

Isn't cameron upping the tax limit to 10,000 soon? That wud be nice. Well, it's what the Liberals wanted, anyway. Dunno if it will happen.

you are only paying the NI.EES (Employees NI) Tesco themselves are paying the NI.ERS (Employers NI)

so that clears that up for you.

You will have paid more tax as by earning as much as you have you are being taxed pro rata as you can have £6475 per year tax free, (647L), however this also suggests that you could be on a week 1 month 1 tax code so i'd get that looked into.

It's being phased in over time

Oh i see, have you got any idea what the term 'Loan' in my wages slip means?

Loan: £372.79
 
you start paying student loan back when you earn £15k or more per year so i think it could be that but i'd still check everything i've said with your payroll dept just to be sure
 
could possibly mean that beleive they have given you pay in advance at some point? but now it's entering the realm of guesswork, the only people with the proper answers would be your payroll dept.

from a generic payroll perspective what i have told you is right to the best of my knowledge, however having worked in retail at the lowest level i know what aq shambles payroll can be lol
 
If you look at this site, entering a monthly wage of £1296.36 says it should still leave you with £1,050.67 after deductions.

Although none of the numbers mentioned match up with that calculator :confused:
