Hang on tho - tax is paid on top of her agreed net wages. Do you mean tax and NI are deducted from her gross wages?

Do you deduct tax and NI each month and make payments to HMRC? Do you have a tax code for her? Simplest thing is for her to check - gross income plus benefits less personal allowance = what should be taxed at 20% then 40% (look on HMRC website for guidance. If you have overpaid tax and she has received a refund it means that you have deducted too much from her wages. So it is hers.
