are from your last payslip in currant employment.
"Previous gross £14,363 week number 36
Previous tax £1,140 week number 36"
are from last payslip with old employer.
If the tax paid figure of £643 is the tax paid in your current employment on a taxable gross of £3141 then the most I would expect to see as tax is something around £628 and that does not allow for the tax code of 1250LX that you show.
Previous pay and tax are correct on a rough check.
The tax code of 1250LX is a week 1 tax code and no tax will be adjusted for previous weeks while that code is in use. Normally either by P45 or notice from HMRC a cumulative tax code (which would allow for adjustment for tax paid earlier) would be given along with details of pay and tax from last employment. You appear to have these pay and tax details but a non-cumulative (week 1) tax code has been used.
If this was all you were querying I would say you just need to get your tax code corrected from non-cumulative to cumulative by checking first with your employer if they used the correct code and if they did then with HMRC to see why this non-cumulative code was used.
But you keep mentioning owing £900 who told you this and what did they say was the reason for it.So would you say £643 paid tax since December is about right? That’s averaging on around £70 a week tax is outrageous.. it should be at least half that with the code I’ve always been on, okay thanks for your info.. I was told by Hmrc I owed them 900 because they didn’t documents and info needed in transitioning jobs, as stupid as it sounds that was word for word.. is there anyone I can take this case to because something isn’t right
The figures needed are....
Taxable gross
Tax paid
Tax code/basis
Taxable pay to date
Tax paid to date
Previous gross
Previous tax
for each payslip in your new employment.
Taxable gross £3074
tax paid £643
tax code BR until 24/01 now 1250L
taxable pay from April 2019 £17,504
tax paid to date £2695
You said originallyTaxable pay to date from April 2019: £17,474
Tax paid from April 2019: £1783
Now you say
taxable pay from April 2019 £17,504
tax paid to date £2695Also you still have not given details for each week as requested.
Best of luck with this but I give up.

When the system has calculated tax owed in WK 43 it has taken these year to date figures into account and as such, the total amount of tax due was higher for this reason as you have earnt above the tax free allowance, I can confirm this has been calculated correctly.
How about Wk43 and the latest one.
Every single entry except your name, employer name and anything to identify you or them is needed from each of these payslips. But patience is wearing thin. Every single entry means just that.

You said that your payslip had the following figures
taxable pay from April 2019 £17,504
tax paid to date £2695
I assume this was your week 44 payslip, what were these figures on your week 43 payslip.
It is these figures that decide what tax you pay.
Were there any figures headed something like previous pay previous tax?0
