Child tax credits, P60 and childcare voucher help please!

[reddaisy]

I am trying to fill in the renewal form and it has asked for my total pay before tax and NI.

On my P60 the box with total pay before tax and NI is considerably less than my salary. I think it could be my total income AFTER the childcare vouchers are deducted every month - is this right/usual? Should I put this figure or my annual salary figure in the box on the renewal form?

My head is spinning!!

Do you still have your March/April payslip? The 'gross pay to date' figure on the last payslip of the financial year usually matches the gross pay amount on your P60. Worth getting clarity from your payroll department if there is a difference between the two.

DH is in a salary sacrifice scheme with his work for laundry and meals and we dont have his P60 yet, when I tried to do my renewal over the phone she said that they need the higher figure, which we could only get from the P60, which is total earnings before sacrifice deductions, and the lower figure, which is also on his last pay slip, which is earnings after sacrifice deductions. I do know that last year they used the figure on his pay slip so hope they do the same this year.
Not sure if my ramblings will help you, if not just give them a phone and they will be able to tell you why they need both figures.

Thanks McPie and Cogito, I do have my March/April payslip but it doesn't have a "gross pay to date" section.

And my P60 only has the lower figure.

Nothing to indicate cumulative pay received at all? Do ask your payroll team in that case.
