Yes the amount of tax paid that is shown on payslip is £16.18
Do you have any work benefits like dental scheme or child care vouchers which are taken from your salary before tax?

Sometimes these can cause slight differences between actual gross pay and what is on the HMRC system.

Re: How long does UK visa take?

How long is a piece of string?

Which visa? Where are you applying from? Are you applying priority or non-priorty?

And in any case it is very difficult to give estimates at the moment as the usual service level is is not offered due to Covid-19
