    If the pension with the cumulative tax code also gets the YTD fiures for income and tax from the employment then it might in fact cancel out.  Pension 1 may then correct PAYE as if her income had dropped to just under £200/month rather than the combined £400. 

    If they don't get those YTD figures then the pension with the S1257 tax code will deduct no tax, the one with SBR will deduct 20%.

    For the coming tax year there is no reason why she shouldn't ask for her code to be split in 2 rather than a specific amount for one & the rest for another.  This would avoid having to correct it every tax year.  As in 1257 divided by 2 gives each pension 628 which will cover them both along with increases in the future until state pension starts.
