Quite a similar thread to others I've seen here - hope I'm not repeating the same questions again!
I just got my first payslip after arriving in the UK and noticed that the tax is far higher than the HMRC rate for my salary bracket.
I did some research but couldn't find any reason why I would be taxed at 24.23% of my gross this month AND then an additional amount for NI.
I have about £640 back pay from April that is only being paid now,but even so, it doesn't explain the rather large discrepancy between the HMRC rate and what I'm seeing here.
Any ideas?
