    The £225 unpaid tax is what would have been due on the 3 pension payments pre SP if the (correct) cumulative code of 588 had been used.  It simply spreads that over the next 9 months.
    On a code of 588 (£13830 - £7950) over the year you would pay £76.80 tax on your pension each month.  The 3 months Apr to Jun would have had £225.40 deducted on that basis.  £225.40 / 9 = £25.04 + £76.80 = £101.84.

    Thanks very much - you have been so kind to put my mind at ease both here and on my other quandary on NI contributions.
