Hi,

I was off work sick for just under 4 weeks in may. I filled out IB form, as my employer pays sick pay I indicated to send illness benefit directly to employer. This week I have paid more tax (paye amount increased). I got notification from revenue That my tax rate band had decreased due to DESP illness benefit, is this the norm, I don't remember paying more tax when I was sick in the past? Maybe I wasn't out sick for as long. Any advice appreciated.
