    Tax paid from April 2019: £1783"

    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....

    exact figures if possible not rounded.
    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.
    since December
    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


    OK I give up 
    You said originally

    Taxable 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 £2695

    Also you still have not given details for each week as requested.

    Best of luck with this but I give up.

    This is what now my pay slip is stating My original figures was from adding them up manually from my tax account, what do you want from each week I’ve given you my gross since Ive started my new job 
  • 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 are still not giving all the figures required.

    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?
