Recieved two tax codes and confused

mono33

My tax code was 747L, i have now recieved two different papers with two different tax codes for year 2012/2013, they are 348L and 462T.
Can some one tell me if this is correct or do i need to get in touch with them. Thanks

Impossible to say, unless you provide some more information!

348L and 462T together give you 810 i.e. the personal allowance of £8,105 for 2012-13, so it could possibly be correct

However since you've received two codes it looks like HMRC think you have two jobs, or a pension or suchlike... It should say on the coding notice who they've told to use that code - is your employer's name or someone else's on there, for example?

the one says my employers name on it says 462T and the other one says its for when you come of jobseekers allowance, but im not claiming that as im working.

Get in touch but be prepared to have a bit of a wait on the phone since annual coding is being run at the moment, my mum had to wait a good 45minutes but got it sorted quickly :P

This happen to me in the last month or so, got two tax coding notices even though I have only ever had one job. When contacted they thought I was still claiming JSA (I stopped claiming over 18 months ago) AND working for my current employer. Within a couple of minutes they corrected this and I have now been issued correct coding for both 2011/12 and 2012/13.

I just got my Coding Notice today and they've slashed my allowance to £3000 - on the basis that I owe £1800 from a previous tax year. "You may remember us telling you about this before" it says. I says. No I don't! All of my tax in previous years is in shape.

Here goes a long phone call tomorrow....
