    That's not the problem though, for some reason HMRC think you have another source of income.

    Was there nothing else in 2010-11 income wise?
    No, nothing else. Wish there was;)

    I suspect an error which can be sorted over the phone so don't lose any sleep until you have spoken to them.

    It looks to me like a company car benefit...
    Hopefully yes. Would hope they haven't made the blunder with the car as that was years ago I had that

    You'll just need to keep trying on the phone. Unfortunately with the tax return deadline looming the phones will be very busy.

    Oh, forgot to say I had another letter with it saying my tax code was BR. Basic rate? Wouldn;t this indicate that my income a far as they are concerned is less than £34370?

    No....it certainly implies that they think you have 2 jobs though.

    The notices of coding should state which employer they relate to - are they the same?

    Well, it's like I said earlier. HMRC has you down as having 2 employments, both with the same employer. This can happen for a number of reasons - your employer files your end of year return under a different works number from the previous year.

    You need to phone and tell them you have one employment and they will delete the other and a correct tax code will be issued.
