I''ve been checking up my P60 against what the CMS were told I earned by HMRC. HMRC have given them a figure that is £8K HIGHER then the one on my P60!!

What reasons could there be for this?

Have you had a pay rise since April? Or any income other than your salary?

CMS looks at your total income from all sources, not just your salary.

I''m not sure exactly what figures HMRC use to provide info to CMS, but I think it is probably based on the most recent information they have, not necessarily on a whole year, so if you had a lot of overtime recently that might skew the figures.

If the figure CMS are using is higher than you *actual* income (rather than compared with last year''s P60) the first step would be to contact CMS abnd let them know you think the figures are wrong, and ask them if they can provide you with copies of the information they have received. It''s possible that an error has been made.
