Tax Credits & previous job, confused!!!!

Hi

Im wondering if anyone can help me, ive just phoned tax credits with my renewal and figures for last year and after the call I thought that the P45 pay to date figure which I gave tax credits was a bit low, so ive just checked through my husbands wage slips and found this.

When DH got paid his wage slip would be set out like this

Gross pay £265
Salary adjustment £127
Taxable pay £137

Then the tax and NI deductions would be shown in the next box.

Then
Tax free expenses £102 (travel scheme)
Net Pay £237

I had never seen DH's wages before so didnt know they worked it all out like this, would his tax free expenses be included in our tax credit renewal or should I just leave it at what is stated on his P45 and P60 where it says pay to date?

Any advice appreciated.

    Should be the figure on P60 for the pay he has recieved

    Thanks, the only problem is, his P60 only has his earnings from his exsisting employer on it as his previous employer (left in march) lost his P45 then sent one to the wrong address and we only just got it today so his existing employer didnt get it in time to be included in his P60.

    So will it be ok as I have done it, ive taken the Pay To Date from his P45 (from old employer) and added it to the earnings on the P60 (from existing employer).
