Think I'm being taxed too much.

Keep pestering your payroll people until it is sorted!

Your P45 may well have been a week1/month1 P45. Check part 1A that you kept, does it have an X after the code at item 6 and figures entered at item 8. If it does it is week1/month1 and your employer can do nothing except send it to the tax office and wait to hear from them. If this is the case you can ask you pay office for the tax office that they deal with and their PAYE referance and contact them, it might speed things up.
If however your P45 did not have an X and had figures in section 7 and not section 8 then you need to ask your pay office why they have not used it, It could be simply that it was past the deadline for the last pay run and it will be used next time.

If they're treating the Code as 647 Month 1 ...... nothing will change. As the Month 1 is non-cumulative therefore no refund will be triggered.

If your HR are affable - get them to have a word with HMRC and see if a corrected Code is in prospect. If not you'll need (get the reference / telephone from your HR people) to contact HMRC yourself.

Edit .... Whoops post #13 wasn't there!
