  • I’m in a very similar situation.
    i have two roles with the NHS 
    0.6 WTE on Band 8b , 0.4 WTE on Band 8a 
    to complicate things even more I have a salary sacrifice car which I had when I was fulltime Band 8a (£7176 reduction on annual salary ) 

    my year end salary was £50,771 because I only started the split roles in July last year my end of year tax didn’t look right and was being told I owed £2500 tax. This was because they had  worked out I had the split role part way through the year.  This part has been sorted now 

    I think I paid about £1400 too much tax across 23/24 if I aggregated my earnings and deductions- tax office don’t think so
    mt predicted tax has gone up by around £1500 for the upcoming year because I have two tax codes , 8b ( main job ) 1282l and 8a is on BR code.

    i can never get through to the tax office , payroll have been helpful but say that they only follow what the tax office tell them to deduct

    ive had this in a previous employment and did end up paying £1600 too much tax and had a rebate. 

    As there have been many variables over the year including , increase in pay for promotion , nhs back pay ( which I ended up owing more money on pension ) pension rate going up and then down and then back up again next month , plus salary sacrifice , it’s all very messy and confusing. I know the tax amount I paid for 23/24 will be reviewed and most likely sorted with rebate but I can’t get the tax office to understand I have two roles with different rates of pay with the same employer that equate to 1 fulltime role (37.5) so instead I am facing nearly an extra £150 per month tax deduction 

    why can’t they just work out my deduction on total salary and make my monthly take home pay correct - I don’t want to end up waiting a full year to receive a refund. 
    You need to look at each tax year separately, you cannot change what happened in 2023-24 but as you say it will be reviewed and any refund due will be notified to you by HMRC.

    The tax code for the current tax year may be correct but it all depends on what you expect to earn (P60 pay figures) in this tax year.

    You can easily update those via your Personal Tax Account.

    The one thing that stands out as a possible longer term problem is your current tax code doesn't appear to include the deduction necessary for your company car.

    I'm interested to know which Department pays annual increments?

    Suggest that you start a new thread - and include a bit more information about what you're looking for. As it stands your question makes no sense.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Suggest you read OP's post where he is the one saying he will be worse off until first incremental rise. AFAIK the Civil Service mostly scrapped annual increments so was just curious as to who they were working for.
