Paid Parental Leave

[sepata]

I thought I'd add to this old thread instead of starting a new one. I received my first PPL payment tonight, my employer is paying it through payroll, and from what I can work out I've been taxed approximately 40% - this can't be right, can it?

You will need to query with your employer. Here may be a reason you are being taxed more highly

Maybe they're classing it as a second income??? I know you can only claim the tax free threshold on one 'job'. Or maybe if you are also being paid a high income from your employer it has pushed you up into the next tax bracket???? I'd ask just to make sure.....
