Do you lie when asked what your current salary is in an interview?

Prospective Boss :- (on the phone) Hi I've interviewed the OP about a job he's applied for. Whats he like?

Current Boss :- Yes, the OP is a good worker, honest, gets on well with others. We'll be sad to see him leave.

Prospective Boss :- He said you were paying him £50k a year.....

Current Boss :- What?!?!?! He's only getting paid £25k a year....

I would not lie to that extent! However, ive had this question pop up a few times about my pay. I am currently paid around £12 something p/h but this goes from an agency to an umbrella company (who pay my taxes) and they take a decent cut.

What I'm on ph should be equivilent to above £20,000 i believe, but when all the fees are taken out my wage its a lot less. Whats worse is the cut that they take doesnt come as a deduction or anything on my payslip. This umbrella company takes off around £30 per week, and so it appears i get a lot less.
