Yeh they are.
I understood it to be that they want to double check those that earn a certain threshold but don't pay tax. Obviously not true, so awesome

Eh? If I read you correctly its pretty obvious if I have 2 tax codes I didn't fill in a P46

It's not obvious at all. You could have completed one (I would expect the Uni to be sufficiently aware to ensure you did so) .... but to the effect it was your first job in the year? Ergo ..... 2 x 603L.
The £2500 you mention isn't 'contexted' very well on the HMRC site. But it is intended to refer to such income as gross pension payments or even self-employment. If PAYE ..... then most could consider, but erroneously, that the 0% band to £6035 pulls them into that aspect.If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0 -

Ah I see what you mean. Yeh I didn't complete one meh. Gets even more complicated next year because I start my placement job - which I have just filled in a P46. I left the date blank when I sent it back to the company saying "I didn't feel the date in because I don't start until next tax year", who knows what'll happen with my tax codes then!!!!!!!!The £2500 you mention isn't 'contexted' very well on the HMRC site.

Well I do see myself as resonbly intelligent and I took it the wrong way

thats how HMRC work, they like things complicated as it makes it harder for the taxpayer to figure out ways to avoid paying tax. If someone figures out a way to avoid paying tax (perfectly legal) HMRC just change the rules so that it wont work in the future.0
