Two and I believe the most likely, the OP's pay for March was lower than their average pay. They are a 40% tax payer so if they had higher earnings earlier in the year say a bonus then their earnings fell to a lower level some tax that they originally paid at 40% would then only be due at 20% so any payment they recieved that was less than their average would have some of this tax reduction from 40% to 20% included in it and produce a tax figure that was lower than normal, and would explain the lower than expected tax figure for March.
I agree with this suggestion as this is what has happened to us in the past.0
