Redundancy affecting tax code

Options
Hi, my wife was made redundant in April. The money she recieved(some of which was taxed) has now affected her tax code for the remaining financial year. I.e we have lost an extra £1500 in tax this month. Is this right?

  • New code is K670 got paid on the 27th.dont really understand it all...
    I think the redundancy has taken her over projected earnings of 100k ,so paying highest rate of tax until next April?

    We'll your wife is a higher rate tax payer so it will all come out in the wash when she does her tax return! If you can't wait that long give your Tax Office a call and they will sort I your now!
