Are you sure that hasn't been changed to 603L since September?

Do you have a Wk1/Mth1 after the code?

Wk1 on my last pay slip...

on 12th sept i was paid the code is 603L but this month and last 0543L still

OK you are on a non-cumulative emergency tax code. Did you hand in a P45 or P46 to your employer? If not you need to do so right away so that you can get onto a cumulative tax code, i.e. 603L without anything after it. Then you will get any refund automatically.

on 12th sept i was paid the code is 603L but this month and last 0543L still

You should still be on 603L - did you not ask why it had changed back?

I had filled in a P60 yes. So am i being taxed too much i really cannot get my head around this im not even sure if ive got back that £60 rebate from gordon brown.

Normally my pay slip says when my code has been changed but this hasnt when its gone back to 543L

Who am i best ringing up tomorrow or going into town to see? The tax office or pay roll?

A) Most people won't see a 'rebate'. It works that most would simply see their tax liability reduce by £60 in Sept and £10 monthly thereafter.

Pay roll or HR in respect of the fact your Code moved to 603 and then back to 543. Sounds more like a mistake than a directive from HMRC? Then HMRC if that doesn't resolve it ..... and it's HMRC if the 'Week 1' still applies after you've discussed with your pay people.

with regarding September I was off lots infact only worked a few days maybe 3 so didn't get taxed anyways. Also my pay is never the same every month due to sickness or whatever else so i won't notice if im paying £10 less?

I've contacted my agency and they are not sure why I was put on emergency tax. They suspect my P46 never made it to the payroll department. They are sending out a new P46 form for me to fill in...

Am i right in thinking you do pay emergency tax for your very first employment? because this is my first job... even if you do get emergency taxed for a first job, i thought you got this money back.. and it would only last a few months?

You don't need it - Jem gave you a link to download and print the document

No you're not right. There's no reason for anyone with only 1 job (be it their 1st or their 100th) to be on BR.

Of course you get the money back - others have told you how this will be sorted on this thread.

Are you over 65?

If you are you are not due the rebate as over 65s already have a higher personal allowance.

If you are under 65 what was your tax code that is used for your NHS pension?

I am under 65 and this is the answer I received from NHS pensions " I confirm that you tax code was uprated from 34L to 94L with effect from the pension payment due on 3 October 2008 however HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) instructed us to apply these codes on a month one basis. This means that no previous pay and tax is taken into account when the code is applied to your pension and therefore no refund of £60.00 was payable. The tax office said my coding had to be operated on a non cumulative basis. A full check of my tax position will be made after 6th April next. Does this make sense? Thanks
