massive increase in income tax this month??

last month I was paid 150 more than this month. It seems this is due to an increase in income tax? I actually don’t know how I am going to cope, nursery has just gone up 129 a month too. I thought tax was supposed to be a tiny bit less in 2024, not substantially more?!

Literally nothing has changed about my pay apart from more income tax

But have you checked that it is correct? Maybe it was incorrect before, and has been corrected?

ok @Taxxxx Have a look at your payslips- what was your tax code last month and what is it this month?

Do you have any taxable benefits, like a car?

have you recently had a wage increase?

Have you worked out the tax and NI you are supposed to pay?

Sounds like you need to ask your employer's payroll people what's going on.

Has your tax code changed between the 2 months? Have you had a payrise? Are you on min wage and so the wage has gone up.

There hasn't been an increase in the rate of income tax so it isn't as straightforward as you're saying

@QforCucumber everything is the same and I’m on 63k

@HappiestSleeping employed. Everything is the same but have had significantly more income tax taken.

What is your AIBU?

To answer your question, it's impossible to say without more information. Are you employed or self employed? Have your personal circumstances changed? How much do you earn? Do you have a pay slip, and have you verified that the tax and NI deducted are both correct?
