Hi.

Is this the format that people will need to help me work this out

Can't honestly make a lot out of that? If this is from your P60 there should be only a single tax figure? Is the 'benefit' and the tax refund related? But I've replied at more length on the separate thread you've created.

Thanks Mikeyorks! Yes I felt the codes for the job with healthcare looked correct, even though the code checker thought they were incorrect but I will have to check this seeing I don't have the P11D. The codes were all taken from end of year P60s so I think that means they are final codes. Thanks for your help as the codes with letters like BRX and M1 really threw me! I shall ring HMRC today and see what they say I suppose...

Hi im not sure if this is the right place to post but i used the tx code checker tool and found out that i possibly should be on code 647L. I am currently on code 653L. Does this mean that i possibly owe money back? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jock

Do HMRC send you a P2 Coding Notice at the start of each tax year ?

If YES - Check the P2 form because it will tell you why your tax code is 653L

Hi, i dont get anything like that at all. Just my p60 from employer.

Then you need to ring the tax office and ask for a P2.

Ok thanks Gertie Walker. Ill give them a ring. Just a little worried now though that Ill have to pay money back.

Hi everyone,
I've actually been a "geek" the whole time I've been working (10 years) and kept all my P60s and Coding Notices (and P11D forms up until a few weeks ago when I chucked them - d'oh!)

Nothing "geeky" about that - I've still got every pay slip I ever recieved (I'm retired now). Maybe one day I'll sit down and work out how much I've earned over the years (then maybe I won't )

Anyway, isn't there some "rule" that says you should keep this sort of information for at least 7 years? I believe that's how far the tax man can go back.

Baffled

Hi, I am confused! I get a state pension of £6328.92 pa (£121.71 per week) plus a small civil service pension of £2970.48pa and an even smaller pension (for which I paid over £27 a week whilst in that employment) of £938.64pa. Whilst my personal allowance is £6475pa, HMCR deduct my state pension from this amount, which leaves me with a tax code of 14L. They take tax from my civil service pension and then take £15.80 tax from my other small pension. I have been waiting, with great trepidation, for them to write and tell me that I owe them money - don't want to phone them in case they tell me I do owe them, so if there are any tax experts on here please can they tell me if I am being taxed correctly? My total income for the year from these pensions is £10,238 - not exactly a fortune! Many thanks.

The easy answer is: total income 10,238 less personal allowance 6475 = 3763 taxable at 20% = £752.60 - total tax due from you for the year.
Tax from your CS pension should be £564.20 a year on code 14L, plus tax on your 2nd pension £15.60 x 12 = 187.20. Total tax being paid 564.20 + 187.20 = £751.40 - looks good to me!
