    My error, I have no idea how i came to the other tax code, min as you say is 867L. Apologies
    Could you be getting £60 expenses allowance in your tax code, maybe for washing a logo'd uniform?

    867L would make sense then,

    12570 + 60 - 3960 = 8670

    Flat Job expenses is £60 so im going to say yes.
  • So your income is £53000 plus £3960 van benefit which is £56960. 

    Your personal allowance is 12570 and you have 60 in fixed rate expenses. 

    You are £6630 into the HR band. 

    Your salary is £51667 before salary sacrifice of 10%. 

    This needs to increase to 22.8% to enable your income to be below 50330.
