paye question

Atlas_IRL

Hi i got a new job about three months ago and am not paying any paye.

My tax credit says 3,100.
Tax code N

I should be paying about between 100-150e a week in tax but the recruitment company have not been taking any PAYE. I rang the revenue and explained the situation but the lady was a bit clueless and said they thought it was ok. I do not want to get into the situation where i owe them a couple of grand. Any advice or should i ring them again straight away?

relax carry on

How do you figure you are due to pay 100 to 150 a week in tax? You are on the normal or cumulative basis of taxation from what you posted above, so unless there's more information that's missing, you appear to be fine.

Because i'm earning around 38k a year so not paying PAYE seems strange. I was only on about 24 or so in my last job and always paid PAYE. Could this be a build up of tax credits? Not sure how they work to be honest.

Was your last job this year or a previous year? If it was a previous year and this new job is your only source of income for 2012, then its a build up of tax credits and rate band.

As a rough guide, a single person can earn 16500 in the year without paying PAYE. If you are only working 4 months of the year, thats around 12500. So you shouldn't pay any PAYE on that.

Strange one. Looks like there's a disconnect somewhere in the information either on Revenues side or your employers. I'd check with Revenue tomorrow to ensure they have your former employment on file with the correct p45 pay and tax details and that the tax credit cert which issued to your new employer was based on the correct p45 details.
