Does anyone know if the below statement is true??

Althought Tax and NI is deducted by the employer and paid through PAYE the Tax Payer still remains responsible for ensuring that the employer is paying the correct payments on their behalf. We cannot comment on individual employers nor can we get involved with contacting them as unfortunately the responsibility to ensure tax is correct is ultimtely the customers.

I would say that it is at best a simplistic statement, unsupported by any analysis, but it suits HMRC's flawed argument.

Why not ask HMRC why they think this?

Why not ask HMRC why they are stating what is at best their opinion, as fact?

I suggest that you start with ITEPA 2003 and go from there.

(Some formal tax training would be a great help if you are).

yeah its a real web of info. Part 11 PAYE Chapter 2 general makes provisions for the payer to be accountable. Anyway Ive asked for them to let me know if that is fact or opinion. I also asked Keith Gordon who gave me a similar answer to yours. Simplistic but misleading ........

I've always thought that Keith was a decent chap.
