How to avoid payslip fraud.

HMRC has issued guidance on payslip fraud, which occurs when employers or payroll providers fail to pay the tax, National Insurance, or Construction Industry Scheme deductions shown on a worker's payslip to HMRC. This affects agency workers, temporary staff, contractors, and those paid through umbrella companies. Workers are advised to regularly check their payslips against their Personal Tax Account or HMRC app to ensure deductions are being paid correctly and to report any suspected discrepancies to HMRC.
