Self assessment tax calculation breakdown, personal allowance different to tax code

Hungrytaxpayer

Hi Everyone,

I work both employed and self employed jobs. My employment gives me a tax code of 1522L confirmed on my latest P60

I put my numbers into the self assessment on the HMRC site. The detailed breakdown of the tax calculation tells me that my personal allowance is 12570 and that the self assessment would be based on this

I wanted to check with people if this sounds right. I did try to ring HMRC but unfortunately they hung up on me after an hour long wait.

many thanks in advance for any advice

Yes. You need to check your Personal Tax Account to see how the 1522L was calculated.
