Need help with tax credit form, so confusing

Options
Hi guys, im new to filling out forms as ive never claimed for anything before so want to make sure im doing this properly.

On my partners wage he gets reimbursed for lodgings and travel, his wage slip reads:

Basic rate
Bonus
Taxable Travel
Non- Taxable Travel
Taxable Subsis (lodgings)
Non- Taxable Subsis (lodgings)

everything is included on his wageslip in overall wage and he does not receive a P9D or P11D

When i called the helpline to ask about whether his travel and subsis get taken into consideration i was told only if it is taxable but his wage slip and P60 includes both taxable and non taxable so will i have to go through all wage slips and deduct non taxable earnings or do i still write his full earning on P60 although that means its will be higher than our actual income as alot of this is just reimbursements? Also do i leave out the section about travel as this is included in his wageslip and not P9D or P11D?

Please help, im so confused, also do you know anywhere i can go to get help to fill this form out? much thanks people

  • You would need to know the amounts of the taxable monies and wages only. I know this may seem like a lot of effort but it will be worth it as you will get much more tax credits. Does his travelling and digs vary every week?

    I used to get reimbursements for travel but at the bottom of my pay slip it had a section for taxable pay - is there not a bit like that on you OHs?

    Make an appointment with your local CAB or Money Matters service x

    Don't the payslips have a "total taxable to date" box? If not how can they work out how much PAYE tax to deduct? Doesn't the P60 state the total taxable income (I thought they had to?)

    Do you make a claim to get the tax back on his taxable travel/lodge every year?
