Shortfall In Wages
14 Answers
job offer was £x per hour less 20% tax (self employed)
wages were short by quite a considerable amount, after various emails promising to get it sorted for the next pay run, which never happened, it turns out that the work done wasn't enough, but no complaints about the quality of work which was first class.
This is in Scotland and a tradesman we're talking about btw :)
I'd love to bad mouth the Company in question but slander is slander and libel is libel, but only if it's false.

If you are self-employed why are the people paying you for your work deducting income tax from the payments they make to you? As a self-employed person you are responsible for making those payments yourself.
Sounds like the only way to resolve this if it cannot be sorted ny negoriation is to take them to the small claims court (or whatever the equivalent is in Scotland). But I'd get the tax question sorted as well because it may be that they are deducting tax from you when they should not and you (if you have declared yourself as self employed to HMRC) will be paying it again at the end of the year.

Like NJ, I'm completely mystified as to how a company could be deducting PAYE tax from a self-employed worker.
However, as he's indicated, when someone fails to pay you the money that they owe you, your only available course of action (other than of the sort involving a couple of big guys with baseball bats) is to seek a court order:

Thank you NJ
I've no idea about any new changes or any changes in self-employment over the past 20 or so years. You give them your UTR number.
It's only a small amount, spread over 9 days, and Mr Alba did say about small claims court last night.
This lot are not an 'umbrella' company and that's new to Mr Alba as well. Dear lawd, folk go to work, expect payment for what they do and get short-changed these days it would seem. Anyhoo, -
I've found a lot of useful info on CAB (Scotland) and will use that info to encourage them to pay the shortfall- they are a Limited company Frequently advertised for joiners on a certain website, and you may gather I am really quite irked about the whole situation.
