£5.52 for workers 22 and over, £1.12 for silly buggers daft enough to work for one man outfits who look decidedly dodgy :) Get on to the job centre, they can actually give you current advice, then tell him what they said and tell him to stop messing around or your dad will come round.

Yeah I'm 22 practically New Years Day :redface:

I looked on the website and apparently its £4.60 now :confused: even his accountant said the same and I would hope she knows what she's on about!

HM Revenue & Customs:National Minimum Wage

I remember it being £5.35 not long ago, even my mum's fiance said its £5.35!!

I have to at least get a month's wage, maybe two before I quit and tell him to fuck off lol.

Anyway I'm off for a bath now.

If you have the P45, just read the instructions on Part 2 "To the employee". It says :

"Give this form to your new employer, or you will have tax deducted using the emergency code and may pay too much tax. If you do not want your employer to know the details on this form, send it to your Inland Revenue office immediately with a letter saying so and giving the name and address of your new employer."


So it's saying that if you don't want your new employer to know how much you've earned this tax year, don't give them your P45. Also in the instructions "To the new employer" it says "IF your new employee gives you this form..." so it is not compulsory. As SP said earlier, if it was your first job, you wouldn't have a P45. The employer must pay you for the work you have done. If they paid you the full gross amount, the IR would claim the Tax and NI from you later, so that it would all work out right in the end. Giving the new employer your P45 just means they would be able to get you on the right tax code straight away.

As your employer is a one man operation, maybe he or his accountant is trying a tax dodge whereby he deducts tax from your paycheck and then keeps it in his company account for a while before finally passing it to the IR next April.

Is the UK tax year still April to April - or have you gone calendar year yet? He maybe be waiting for the first of the year as that kind of thing makes a difference to a company's books in France and Ireland (we're on calendar year for tax now in both).

Well, HMRC runs 5th April annually but company tax years can be anything they want. Mine certainly doesn't correspond with HMRC. I suspect he's just being bloody minded!

I think 'his' company tax year may be December, he started a year ago sometime in that month.

Arthur: I should just demand my wage then? I asked him to pay me and said tax etc would be sorted out later; they'd ask for it at some point.

:mad:

But now should I wait for the accountant to finish doing what she's doing? Anyone have any idea how long that will take? She said because I haven't claimed benefit or worked in the time between jobs I should/could keep the same tax code and have it sorted [soon]. I need it for Christmas! lol.

They can sort your wages out that day if they want to, whether they want to is another matter - it's quite likely he's spinning it out as long as he can so he can flee to another country using the money he's conned you out of to live the life of riley in the sun :)

Trust me dong, the guy's getting every last bit of work out of him before he's off to Rio on his ill gotten gains, he might even drug SLB, pop him in a trunk and sell him to white slave traders.

Yes well I'm retiring to my chambers now. I also still haven't received that thing I won for 26p 12 days ago. I sent them a message...no reply :redface:

So unlucky with money! And girls, etc etc
