HRMC Tax Calculation Advice

I have just received a Tax Calculation for 2012-2013 from HMRC advising that I have underpaid some tax.

Sorry to sound stupid but on checking the calculations presented against the relevant P60 the PAYE Income amounts differ - Can anyone possibly explain or give a reason as to why this is ?

    Not that I am aware of ? Only a flat rate job expenses amount of £120 which appears on HRMC Tax Calculation.

    But my tax code was 822L

    Thanks again for your reply.

    For period 2012-2013

    P60 Total Gross Income was £19,991.52 same as End of March 2013 payslip.

    Tax Code 822L on Pay slip and P60

    Personal Allowance on HRMC Form states £8,105

    PAYE Income on HRMC Form states £20,165

    Further to my earlier post should I have received something explaining the change in Tax Code or would this have been sent to my employer ?

    By my calculations your employer should have your tax as 2354 and HMRC 2412.

    What is the expenses for? It seems this was included in your tax code but has now been removed

    Yep employer has tax as 2352.40 but HMRC has 2388 ?

    Have not got a clue what the £120 expenses is in respect of ? How can I find out ?

    Should I contact my employer or HRMC ?

    Any change in tax code (other than the normal yearly changes) would be sent to both you and your employer

    Well I have not received anything at all. Again who should I contact for information ?

    I'd speak to your employer first. If they give you expenses they (and you) need to know what for. Once you have more information, then contact HMRC

    Thanks again for your reply and will do.

    Sorry just one more question, if my tax code is 822L does that mean that my personal allowance should be £8,220 and not £8,105 ?
  • Basically yeah but from what you've said so far I don't know why

    Ok many thanks again and goodnite
