Thanks for your reply, but there is no link to the webchat from that page?

Thank you.

Good afternoon I worked as a temporary for three weeks in May, but the employer paid me for just two weeks. I have been in contact with HR, who said they have gone to look at the case, but now after three weeks of no reply, I sent an email but again, no reply. What can I do ? Regards. 

Hi Renato Pacetti
If you are unhappy with the response being provided by the employer you may need to contact Acas to get some advice:
Pay and work rights helpline and complaints
Thankyou.
Regards.

Hi, I’m 20 years old & in My second year of my apprenticeship, I haven’t completed my course yet but I’m 21 next month & I’ve seen online that my pay should’ve gone up to minimum wage, can someone tell me if this is correct or if it’s only when I have completed my course, thanks.

Hi Georgia Middleton,

All workers engaged under a contract of apprenticeship, or treated as employed under a contract of apprenticeship qualify for National Minimum Wage (NMW) rate, at either;

• The rate for apprentices - if they are under 19 years of age or if they are over 19 and in the first year of their apprenticeship.
• The rate applicable to their age band - if they are over 19 and have completed the first year of their apprenticeship.

This means that once an apprentice aged 19 or over has completed the first year of their apprenticeship, they must be paid the NMW rate for their age from the first day of the pay reference period that begins on or after their 19th birthday or completion of the first year of their apprenticeship. 

You can find more information on NMW rates here:

National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates

Thank you.

Hello, I need help with my tax overpayment refund for year 2020/2021. a few months ago I applied online from my self assessment account for tax repayment for the year 2020/2021 and I still have no refund on my bank account. How long does the refund take?l got last self assessment statement at 27 November but there is no information about my overpaid tax. And l paid twice as much as.l should have. What should l do in this situation, still waiting?thank you

Hi,

Please contact our Self Assessment team as the repayment may have been stopped for checks or the request has not gone through.

My husband and I are retiring early having a small amount of money from the sale of my parents home. I am advised that I may be able to reclaim income tax paid this year once I stop work. Is this correct and how do I do this please. I claim my old works pensions (amounting to around £4,000 a year) on which I currently pay 20% tax. Will this tax no longer be deducted if I don't have an income any more. Thanks. Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi sidneyworm,

Once you have stopped working your tax code can be updated to transfer your Personal Allowance against the pension.

If you contact us once you have received your P45 from your employer,  we can review and  update your tax code and advise regarding any refund due.

Thank you.



 

I am having trouble logging in through a self assessment account which was set up in Dec 2021, I went to log in yesterday and it is saying it is not working. I have since set up a personal tax account and want to add self employed but it will not allow me. I have a tax return to complete like everyone by 31.01.23 and am worried I wont be able to file it. I was self employed part way through the year and employed for part of the year also. Can anyone help me please as it will not allow me to set up a self employed account

Hi ranger88 davies,

If you have a UTR, please go to:

Sign in using Government Gateway

Select 'Government Gateway' to login with your User ID and password, select 'enrol for service' at the side of Self Assessment on the "Services you can add" page.

Enter your UTR and postcode instead of your National Insurance number as there may be an error in the NINO online.

You should then get a message advising that an activation code has been issued.

Thank you. 

Hi, I've moved to Poland in 2022. I need to prove to the local tax authorities that I was UK Resident in 2019-2021. Could anyone help me to understand how to get that certificate? I was employed full-time and regularly paying taxes in UK.

Hi I’m trying to get through on phone to no avail. I have been getting my wage garnished as hmrc believe I haven’t paid enough tax. I believe this is because I was working through an agency for a company but the company claimed I worked for them at the same time. I did not but they paid me and I paid that back to them but this means I have been getting taxed unfairly. What do I do

Hi,
 

Please refer to guidance at : How to apply for a certificate of residence to claim tax relief abroad    . Thank you.
