    I hope she gets this sorted because I'm convinced she shouldn't be paying any tax at all.

    At the risk of repeating myself, get the full details that I keep asking for and we should then know what is happening. Without the figures people can only guess.

    So there is another source of, I presume, taxable income, that makes all the diference. ESA is taxable if it is contributory as opposed to income based which is not taxable. If the ESA is not taxable then we are still in the dark.
    There is still the matter of the code number and her salary, I would suspect that the code number has been reduced by the amount of ESA as would happen with a state pension.

    No, her only income is as stated. £8486 from employment, £546 pension and £746 from another pension which began in May this year. Nothing else at all.

    The ESA was payable only from february till may when she went back to work.

    Chrisbur, I will get the details required later today when I speak to her.
