I require your opinion and guidance on how to move forward.
I am eligible for applying Naturalisation and I would like to apply around this week.
I would explain with an example.
Lets say, for the each months in 2018, I have to pay tax of £100/- . I enrolled for pension and they forgot to deduct pension amount and respective tax amount for three months.
Lets say, if pension is deducted, then I would have to pay less tax , lets say £80 ( £20 less as pension is deducted).
After reminding my employer for not deducting pension amount for three months, they agreed and deducted pension amount for those three months. Employer accountant confirmed, they have sent updated tax numbers to HMRC for those three months, i.e., £80 tax amount after deducting pension amount. Earlier they have reported £100 tax amount for those three months as no pension amount was deducted.
I am a PAYE employee in a full time employment.
Question:
- Still, Tax paid for those three months is showing as £100 in the HMRC PAYE online account and confirmed with HMRC call-center. Ideally, it should have shown £80/- for those three months.
- Interestingly, the total amount tax paid for entire year is correct and it is also shown correctly in P60. The issue is, if we add income tax for each month for the year 2018-2019 as shown in the HMRC PAYE personal tax account, it would add up to £12,000, which is wrong. £9600 is tax amount which is correct number and mentioned correctly as yearly tax income in the HMRC PAYE online in the last row of the table.
Month 1: £80 -- This is correct tax amount
Month 2: £80 -- This is correct tax amount
...
Month X: £100 -- This is wrong, as the updated number should be £80
Month Y: £100 -- This is wrong, as the updated number should be £80
Month Z: £100 -- This is wrong, as the updated number should be £80
Month 12: £80 -- This is correct tax amount
----------------
Total: £9,600 -- This is Correct tax amount and shown in HRMC PAYE account, but if you add each month individually, it will come to £12,000
Would there be any issue issue if I apply for Naturalization? Would they consider as descrepancy? Do you see any issues?
Thanks for your help and cooperation.
