When do you deduct penalties - before or after PAYE?

  Written by Marc   Posted 8 December 2014

Hi. I am a freelance writer. 25% PAYE is deducted from each episode as we submitted. In our contracts, it states that if we miss our deadlines, a fee will be deducted. I have since realised that the accounts department minuses the 25 % PAYE from the gross, then minuses the penalty. Shouldn't it be that they deduct the penalty from the episode fee, then deduct 25%?
