HMRC keep emergency taxing me

nisnooz

Hi there, over 2 years ago, I changed business units within the same company but had to exit one payroll and join a new one. In that process, HMRC seemed to emergency tax me, I investigated it and they blamed it on my company as it appeared -on paper- as though I had 2 jobs. The bottom line is, in that year, I paid higher tax than I probably should have and my company ended up picking the bill for the extra £2K HMRC demanded at the end of it. The issue I have now is that I joined a new company, all paperwork was submitted duly and I have now been informed that I will emergency taxed AGAIN and for the whole of 2014/2015 so they can 'recoup the money owed'! The thing is my salary has gone down but I do have a car allowance (the total of both is slightly LOWER than my previous salary). I do NOT earn anywhere near £100K. What should I do? I called to protest the new code 58T but HMRC don't care....it feels as though I appeared on a 'owing tax' list a couple of years ago and now they just keep an eye and tax me anyway.

You need to find a board guide to get your post moved to this thread

While you're about it it would be useful if you can find your codes and payslips (also P60s and/or P45s - the summary of pay and tax at year end/job change) going back over this period, so that you can be given accurate information.

1. If you paid 'higher' tax than you should have done there would have been a refund, not a tax bill. That would be a personal bill, not one for your employer.

2. Is this the 2grand that is now included in your current tax code?
