Paye jump

Bodes2224

My paye payment has jumped by 100 euro this month. Im on a fixed rate contract therefore get paid the same every month.

Does anyone know why it would jump by so much in 1 month?

Your tax credits or cut off points must have changed, your payroll dept will be able to tell you straight away, your spouse if you have one may have paid less tax if you are jointly accessed.

I'm a single parent. So assessed on my own.
My payroll department are extremely hard to get in contact with. Turnaround times at the minute is 6 weeks

Check your last 3 payslips in the cumulative tax credit/cut off sections, you will be able to see if your monthly credit/cut-off has been reduced, if it has then ring revenue to find out why

Six week turnaround for a payroll department? WTF?

If could have been anything tbh, any changes in your circumstances will be notified to your payroll department, who will apply it.

You can check your own details on your Revenue account to see what's changed;

What's your approx gross annual or monthly salary?

(The standard rate tax band for a single parent is €39,300 so unless you've a well paid job, it's unlikely that you'd have passed that by month 10 of the tax year!).

Alternatively post up the cumulative totals of your gross pay and PAYE to date this year and someone will attempt to do the maths.

(Presumably your yearly tax credits come to €4,950?)

how would the tax credit come to 4950 as a single person unless they have credits transferred from a spouse?

The only experts on your tax query are the Revenue themselves.Call them and ask.Have your PPS number ready and also,your employer's tax reference number ,if possible.The Revenue phone number begins with 1890 and 6 digits.They answer very quickly Covid or no Covid.

Lone parents get three tax credits: 1650 + PAYE 1650 + Lone Parent 1650 = 4950.

relax carry on

Have you logged into your Revenue MyAccount and checked if anything has changed with your credits/rate and band in the last few weeks?

I'm on 32000 per year but was on 40000 per year up until March.

I have tried to look on the revenue website but im blocked and have to contact them and quote rule 9. Any idea what this is?

So your rate band has been reduced by something worth €8,000 that revenue believe is taxable. Have you been in receipt of any type of welfare payments this year?

If you where in receipt of any covid income supports then your tax will be significantly higher for a few months as it will change From cumulative to week one, only going by what revenue told me so I could be very wrong.

"A customer will be blocked from using Revenue's online service in certain circumstances, for example, if the customer is not tax resident in Ireland or if the customer’s civil status changed during the year. A message will be displayed to blocked customers advising them to contact Revenue quoting the relevant rule number."

I can think of a number of possibilities, but the best thing to do is to contact Revenue's National PAYE Helpline - 01 738 3636 [open from 09:30 - 13:30] to resolve the issue.
