Yes you can. Your can deduct £100 a week for a maximum of 26 or however long you received maternity pay (whichever is shorter). Give them a call and report the lower income.

There is an exhautive list here of all allowable deductions:

The big ones are usually pension payments and Gift Aid donations.

There is a clear distinction between making a new claim which can only be backdated 3 months and amending an existing claim which can be amended until CTC started.

Anyway, you should have a couple fo hundred quid coming your way as a rebate.
