I need someone to help work this out

[Icelolly27]

I'm a single parent I work two jobs
One job I work for a big company
2nd job work for someone who's self employed.
I receive universal credit who are on my case as I am not earning enough except I am....
I was paid 440 from 1st job
520 from 2nd job BUT only 440 shows up on hmrc?? Why would that be? Is it something to do with 2nd job working for someone self employed? Are they messing with the books somewhere? I have to have weekly job centre appointmentsbecause they can't see I am being paid 520 instead of 440. Someone help me understand what is going on.

I don't think I made that clear. Hmrc says I am being paid 440 +440 but I actually receive in my bank 440 +520.

Do you get payslips?
Have you checked your HMRC PAYE account you see if the income is registered there.
Have you asked the second employer if it is being reported properly to HMRC, as it isn't showing up on your account.

Hi, isn't £440 + £440 enough to end the (weekly) UC appointments?

You need either a payslip from self employed person that you work for OR your invoice to the self employed person for 2nd role, if they are subcontracting you (as self employed basis).

That way you can understand why the discrepency (£80) as well as produce evidence to, hopefully, end the commitment to seek additional work/regular UC apppintments.

Hope that helpz

I've just realized what it is I think.
440 is my wage and they have added 120 as fuel on my payslip so that's not being taken has earnings I'm guessing? 🙈

My job couch told me it's 884 pound to stop weekly appointments... I'm 4pound of so have to have weekly appointments in-between working and raising children. Loving life ATM.

Ah nightmare
Can you ask employer 2 to adjust pay up and fuel allowance down slightly?

That is a nightmare (and senseless).

It seems an extra 1 hour of a month work would solve that issue (min earnings).

Would employer 1 or 2 be able to increase your hours by 1 hour over a month?

Or find a job that you could do on top for, say, couple of hours max per week? Easier said than done wirh final option. First suggestion more likely?

Hope all goes well

Presumably fuel is what they are paying you in mileage to travel to clients/appointments/whatever it is you are doing?

If so that is a non taxable expense and isn't counted as part of your income. If, however they are paying your fuel to travel to and from work from your home each day that is a taxable benefit in kind and your employer should be itemising it on your payslip & it will count as income.
