Ermm. So? That's how tax works. You have a misleading topic heading there.2chorizon wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 16:37That's right you will not get anything like £1500 lump sum.
1. It is taxable
2. It is the very beginning of the new tax year
On the week you get paid out the £1500 lump sum + wages HMRC will assume you are now earning around £2k per week and will heavily tax you assuming that is your weekly gross for the new finacial year going forward.
They will deduct £500+ from that phat weeks payout.......
Then you will scream.......and rant down the phone.
Then for the next 5-6 weeks you will pay low or zero tax until you claw back that initial savage deduction.........
So you will eventually pocket the £1500 lump sum but YOU WILL NOT recieve it in anything like one lump. #CaveatEmptor

Absolutely, it is what Maggie would have wanted.FilthyBloke wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 17:49But isn’t this the same scenario if we get any back dates pay?
Either way, I’ll take the money now.

Re: You won't get 1500k lump sum
You still here Red, surprised you can be bothered to talk to us, we are overpaid and lazy according to you, and if i remember correctly a certain CEO said something similar at some stage in this dispute. The mask has well and truly slipped now and i know you think you are a very smart person, perhaps you are just a very sad individual who should get out more often. I apologise if i am completely wrong about all this, maybe you are just misunderstood, but i somehow think i am probably right.redIen wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 18:04Absolutely, it is what Maggie would have wanted.FilthyBloke wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 17:49But isn’t this the same scenario if we get any back dates pay?

Re: You won't get £1500 lump sum
In simple terms, the first £240 we earn each week is free from income tax and NIC's.
After that, income tax is paid at 20% until you earn over £50,270 for the year, you're then taxed at 40% over that limit.
NIC's are paid at 12% on earnings from £240 to £967 per week, and at 2% from then on.
As I said it will vary with the individual, but I would expect to lose approximately a third of the £1,500 to the taxman.
We've had bonuses in the past of fairly similar amounts, such as from the Colleague Share scheme, which didn't incur a higher rate of tax initially.

Re: You won't get 1500k lump sum
Pensionable pay for section A, B & C members is actually based on pay in 2014, which has been increasing with RPI inflation since, rather than with actual pay rises.
Take a look at week 52 payslip, it told you your pension contributions were increasing, despite not getting a pay rise. They actually increased on week 1(this week)!

Re: You won't get 1500k lump sum
The amount of people literally jizzing over getting £1500 which will be taxed is nuts. How easily brought some people are.

Re: You won't get £1500 lump sum
A 5% increase to my basic wage of £467 per week is an extra £1,214 per year, which would be pensionable as well as part of my pay going forward.k979aaa wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 19:10If 5% going forward into wage rather than £1500 which would you have?RobertT wrote: ↑07 Apr 2023, 19:07In simple terms, the first £240 we earn each week is free from income tax and NIC's.

I would usually say I'd take the 5%. But as I'm planning on leaving soon, this time I'd take the £1,500.

Re: You won't get 1500k lump sum
Why wouldn't it be taxed?
It helps the Government pay for 10% rises for OAP's and benefit recipients, it'll be your turn one day to receive the old age Pension.
