DH's P60- Advise Please

6 replies

chinchi · 17/05/2008 18:59

DH received his P60 yesterday and his, along with the majority of staff where he works have noticed quite a few mistakes with their P60s.

He works at a restaurant and gets paid cash in hand every week along with everyone else. Despite asking for wage slips, his boss has failed to produce them, but DH let it go as he was still getting his wage with no problems.

Anyway, on DH's P60 his address and date of birth are wrong, although his NI number is correct. The same guy owns three restaurants, and gave DH his P45 when he left one restaurant to work at another, yet the place of work shown on the P60 still shows the old restaurant.

It also shows that he has earned 2551 for the whole of the last tax year.

Dont get me wrong, that amount is fantastic for renewing our tax credits, but we know it is wrong, and DH wants to get it sorted. A work colleague who left the restaurant a few weeks ago is apparently taking the manager to court over it all as nearly all the details on his P60 are incorrect.

When DH asks his boss if it will get sorted, he is constantly fobbed off and being told that 'the accountant will sort it when she can'.

What action can we take against him? DH is being shown as having paid 84.90 tax for the whole year, and we dont want to get into any trouble for any wrong-doings from his boss.

Please help!

Not sure, but in the mean time tell the tax credits the correct figure.

I agree- the last thing we want is a huge repayment of tax credits, and Im too honest to lie when it comes to official stuff like that!

What proof of earnings does he have? Has he kept any records of what he has received at all?

And in terms of taking action, does your dh want to/have to keep working for this man?

I had similar to this one year and they wanted the figure off the p60. Made me Ill thinking about it as I knew it was wrong, when I rang they said could I provide evidence of the aother amounts paid, er, no, I thought it would all be on my p60 and so that was that.
Thought the worry of it was gonna give me stomach cancer actually, because if I couldnt prove I had earnt X I couldnt argue if somone said it was 10x more.
Nothing came of it..as yet.

DH is looking for a new job at the moment, but proving hard to find anywhere that pays as well as the restaurant (his pay includes tips of upto 100 most weeks).

I have written down the amount he has earnt every week since he started, and we have the bank statements showing him depositing his wage every week. Not sure if it will amount to anything, but DH has also kept every small brown wage envelope he has been given with his name on.

If you're getting over the basic tax allowance - which it is basically implied you are, but your DH's employer is declaring under he wont be making any employers NI payments and I'm not certain but I think you're DH will not be able to count the year towards his stamp (no. of years to get state pension, entitlement to statuary sick, disability allowance etc, etc. He could get round this by paying self employed stamp. Just a thought.
