Why has my husbands tax free travelling allowance been included in his gross income on P60. Spoke to welfare and they say inland revenue have got it wrong and his allowance shouldnt be included. Told inland revenue what it should be but they need proof from army payroll!!! Has anyone else had problems like this? What should I do? And why do Army payroll keep including these allowances when they should be tax free. Ive got 30 days to appeal to Revenue otherwise I lose my tax credits and may end up having to pay back £thousands. Please help!!:mad:

  • I can't remember which allowances are taxable and which aren't - I'm sure there will be someone along in a while who has more recent experience than me - but are you definitely looking at the 'gross taxable income' figure rather than just the gross? Quite a few of the soldiers I used to look after often used the wrong figure.
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    JSP 752

    05.0202. Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs). In accordance with ITEPA 2003 Section 296 GYH Travel is non-taxable.

    [FONT=&quot]Both HDT and GYH are tax free, double check you are making sense of the P60 correctly. Then get your husband to get hold of JSP 752 (or the relevant pages) and send it to the tax man.[/FONT]


    [FONT=&quot]I'm not sure why Army is in red? JPAC is a TRI service establishment these days so there's not really such a thing as army payroll

    You can also point HMRC to http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM21733.htm if it's GYH

  • Thx so much. U have given some useful info. Ive got an RAO helping me now fighting my corner. I can see where the tax man is coming from jpac mod have included his GYH in his salary. So he cant see any difference. Why do jpac do that? Odd thing is they have never picked up on it before now. Thanks again for the info. X
  • Hope you get it sorted my husband has just sent forms away to tax man to try and claim back the last 5 years.
