Driven insane with PA, salary sacrifice, state pension and tax codes

Sprinkly

Unfortunately as I was checking my payslips since being in possession of both salary sacrifice cars and found during the year 2017/2018 I have had many tax codes.

My combined gross income of salary and state pension is £27,385.

I got my first SS car October 2016.
Tax year 2017 April to Sept I had an SS car. Then a gap, then I was issued with another SS car in November 2017 due to the first one being written off.

Tax codes are as follows:-
April -2017 - 1065L cumul
July 2017 !!!8211; 62L cumul
August 2017 - 55L noncumul
Sept 2017 - 53L noncum
October 2017 - 320L noncum
March 2018 - 217L non !!!
April 2018 - 38L

When I received my state pension in July 2017 I half expected a change in a tax code along with HMRC and employer taking into consideration the SS car I had at the time tax wise.and state pension.

However with the recent new SS car lease contract in November 2017 I expected maybe an extra £50 tax would be taken not nearly £200 extra in tax PAYE as has been taken last month as well as being pay rolled £265.81 a month for the SS car.

Response from my employer ; I can confirm that we have been informed via Fleet Solution that your payments will be £265.81 per month. Your Tax code has increased for 53L Non !!! to 320L non !!! which gives you more Tax Allowance but we are informed via the HRMC to change your Tax code. Unfortunately the Inland Revenue will not speak to us regarding your Tax.?? Can you please give them a call on 0300 200 3300 and they will let you know what information they have received from Fleet Solution that changed your Tax code

On my querying this with nhsFleet said they have sent the P46 documentation to HMRC. HMRC are saying it is the information they are receiving from my employer that has changed my tax code not nhsFleet.

I have not yet received my PIID form that gets sent to HMRC to look at this either.

I feel like I'm being bounced between Fleet, my employer and HMRC. It might all be correct but I wouldnt know because I am totally confused even ringing up HMRC who confused me further.

Many thanks in advance for anyone that can make head nor tail of this. :eek:

What does your P2 notice of coding show for the reasons for the deductions to your tax code ? The state pension will be deducted from your allowance as will the BIK value of the car so a deduction of £11530 is quite possible - how much SP do you get and what is the BIK value of the car. 2017-18 is a bit of a mess due to changing car and if SP started part way through the year it would add to the chaos but will get sorted. You need to find how much SP you received and work out the BIK values for each car pro rated for the amount of time you had them.

Thanks for your reply molerat. what is a P2 notice? And how do I get one?

P2 is your "notice of coding" which you should get each year from HMRC, it gives your tax code and how that figure is arrived at. It should also be available in your on line tax account.

You may well get multiple versions of the P2, there should be at least one for each of the changes of tax code you mention. My mum (long retired, income from state pension, her own very small company pension, and a small widow's pension) received 5 different ones in a few weeks during March and April, including 2 issued on the same day!

If you have not received any coding notices, have you checked that HMRC hold the correct address for you?

This eventually got sorted and had settled down I even got a tiny tax rebate because I'd overpaid but apparently I found out it was across the NHS trust and affected everyone due to a trust merger with other hospitals but don't see how this should affect anything to do with payroll and NHS fleet to be honest. Thanks for your replies!
