Tac Code Changing April 2010

Hi,

Received a letter from HMCR saying that from 1st April 2010 I will be on BR tax with no tax free allowance! I am currently on 647L and got about £6.470.00 worth of tax free why is this not been extending this year?

    I got mine this morning too...it should on the same letter have a
    Here is how we worked it out
    mine had
    personal allowance 6475
    then deductions for car benefit, medical insurance and underpayment

    re the personal allowance it states:
    the tax free amount starts from the "personal allowance" that depends on your circumstances. Our records tell us you are entitled to £6475 for this tax year, the standard allowance for people under 65.

    If your breakdown looks incorrect there will be a number you can call them on

    It will either be because of benefits in kind or underpaid tax in a previous year

    Give them a call to see what's going on!

    My wife also recieved one on Friday saying they are putting on BR from April as they say she has a 2nd job! On calling them up to ask where she is now working - their computer is telling them that she also working for the same company she has worked at for the last 6 years!! They apologised for the mistake and said that things like this happen quite a lot and they will revert her tax code back to what it was before!

    The best people to ask is the tax office themselves, I'd ring them if I were you. I have my normal tax allowance, and I also have a pension from my late husbands employer. I receive separate notifications regarding my pension, on which I am taxed at BR as my tax code is applied to my employment.
