would my son get a tax rebate, he started an apprenticeship last august he pays normal tax and as a normal tax code. I remember when i first started work my mum made me fill in a tax rebate form, its a long time ago and i know that this cannot be done now, so what happens and how would he go about it?

He should have received a P60 for the 2010/2011 tax year. He needs to check the figures on the P60 against a tax calculator - there are lots available on the internet. If it looks as though he may have paid too much tax then he can contact his tax office and request a refund.

Hi

I have been advised that I underpaid my income tax in 2009-10 by just under £2K. Unfortunately the letter advising me of this was sent to my old address so I only found out when they started deducting. They are in the process of sending me a copy of the letter to my new address.

I have checked by P60 against most calculators and can't see a problem of this magnitute when my pension contributions are taken into account. I was on a BR code for most of the year (probably because I changed jobs).

The tax officer basically said there was no way to challenge the statement as it was due to an error in my employers payroll office. I am happy to money but would like to know how I can check MHMC's figures are right other than using the online calculators.

many thanks for any help or advice

hello, me and my partner have just found out he has been on tax code BR since sept 2009, i've read that BR is only if you have a second job which he doesn't. I know we have to get a P46 form which i've heard his employer has to provide, is that right? if so what happens after that.

I've heard that if he does it through his employer they will pay him back through his wages but will be tax on it again. Can we just call the tax office instead?

Thanks

I have a difference of over £2,000 on my 2011/12 code

That's a lot of money - but do they owe me or do I owe them?

My tax code this year is 538L, I'm under 60 and I only have one job now (previously I was earning a very small sum from a second job) and i'm not aware of any deductions

I was unsure of how I calculated my earnings though...Im presuming from my payslip where is says PAYMENT PERIOD-Monthly: its "total Gross Pay" which is £1,221.95 x 12 months.

Please can anyone confirm this??
Thanks

If you do not have a P2 - Notice of Coding which would explain why your tax code is 538L, then you should phone HMRC and inform them that you now only have the one job and ask them to check your tax code. It sounds like you should be on the normal tax code of 747L.
Whilst on the phone, make sure that HMRC have your current address up to date (If you have moved in the past several years)

I was notified at thge beginning of this year by the tax office that I had underpaid and owed them just over £1100 over the last 2 years.

It all stemmed from company health benifits we get and the company apparently didn't tell the tax office about it . There were also other payments I receive as a small personal pension, and the company which deals with this had not deducted tax from it 2 years ago.

Anyway after a long while and eventually going to see someone at my local tax office the original figure owed was cut to just under £500.

My present tax code now is 408L until they recover the amount owing.

I got a p800 asking for over £800 in unpaid tax from 08-09, and am struggling with this. I left one job, having been paid just under £6000, and have all the wageslips showing the amount of tax paid. I went on JSA for a couple of months before starting a new job, and again was paying tax there. All info was given to the relevant people when needed. I cannot find my copy of the p45 from the first job, and never got a p60 from them.
The tax office claim the 1st employer informed them that I paid no tax, and I have only just received a copy of my statment of earnings from them showing that no tax was paid. The tax office have basically said that they take the word of the employer and just go off their information!
any ideas on how best to handle this anyone?-any help would be much appreciated!

In answer to your question, yes, HMRC will use the information provided by the employer. The P14 (employer copy of your P60) is a "certificate of Pay and Tax" and will be used in the HMRC tax calculation for the year. If you feel the reported figure are incorrect, approach the employer and, if they are clearly not operating PAYE correctly and they won't offer a resolution (i.e. your payslips and p14 figure used by HMRC don't add up) then contact HMRC with all the details (probably best in writing for this scenario). Please note, you only get a P60 from the employer you're with at 5th April (or p60u if on JSA) but a p14 (or p14u for jsa) is submitted to HMRC for their records for each employment in the tax year.

PAYE runs like this...employers (or pension providers) deduct tax and NI on your salary and pay to HMRC on your behalf. The tax deductions are based on yoour tax code. It is the individual's responsibility to check their code.

Please note that HMRC can only act on the information provided to them.

If the code is wrong, there's any changes (i.e. company benfits etc) it's best to inform them immediately to get the code updated.

Delays can lead to the wrong tax deductions. These can build up and are checked after the tax year finishes when the employer has reported all pay, tax and benefit details to HMRC.

I have used your tax calculator, and also the one on the HMRC website and it looks like I am overpaying tax. Think I'm on the wrong tax code. How do I contact them? The website is so confusing and a lot of the links just send you round in circles! !:o
