Parasol Payslip question

[Ardesco]

Yes, that seems to be the majority's opinion here. As a newbie in this contracting world, I don't trust myself enough to dispute this advice.

But it sure is annoying to see half your salary taken away by the evil tax-man.

It always has been, you just never noticed it before

HTH

Ok, I just found out that I was on emergency tax code

Any thoughts?

Told ya :P

Was same for me when I worked through Parasol. First month paid extra tax, once P45 was received they changed it and I got the overpayment back.

Indeed you have

How did you get the overpayment back? Is it a significant difference?

It was automatically done by the parasol payroll (I think... was 3 yrs ago now.. ) and yes the difference in take home was significant.
