Can you sort out your terminolgy please so that we can understand what you are saying.

the last company that i was a partner in and ceased trading with

You can be a shareholder, director or employee (even all three at once) of a company. Not a partner. To cease trading relates to a sole trader or a partnership. If you were in partnership then you can cease to be a partner. What do you mean here?

have still been paying me via paye!!!!!

Directors and employees are paid via PAYE. Partners take drawings but they are taxed on their share of the partnership profits.

confirmed that I had ceased trading with that company on that date as my p45 shows

Which suggests that you were an employee.

who was my partner in the busines

Which suggests a partnership.

we were both directors of a limited company, that ceased trading in 2008 due to the death of my brother. I left the company 11/04/2005 and started as a sole trader under SA. The compliance check has shown that payment have been made in my name under paye from the other business from 2005- the end of the business due to the accountant mixing up our NI numbers. What do I need to do and what liability does the account have for this mistake.

many thanks

It would seem you have to repay the money which you should not have had?

And the company needs to recover the PAYE & NI from HMRC.

Do you mean that no payment was actually received by you after you left the company, but the PAYE records are incorrectly saying it was?

yes no money recieved but showing on hmrc

In which case, you cannot be taxed on this income. You will just need to explain that you did not receive it. You will need to be prepared to demonstrate this by providing copies of your bank statements.
