Underpaid Tax

Comments

When your tax code is changed, HMRC will send you a notice and also the employer, so you should be able to cross-check via payslips that the employer is using the correct one at any point in time?0

Nowhere in this thread have you provided any information to suggest that the employer has operated the wrong tax code.
A start code of 0T is usually used for one of three particular reasons. Nothing unusual in that.
Then they operated BR, presumably at the request of HMRC.
What else do you think this employer should have done 🤔1 -
Where is your personal allowance? Do you have other PAYE income?0

Unless the income from this employment should have been taxed all or partly at 40% I find it difficult to understand how one could be underpaid on a code BR.0

I was on tax code BR which is 20% but earned in a bracket where I should have paid 40% so they are asking for the extra 20% on the salary over the threshold.

If HMRC issued a later code you should have got a notice of coding showing the new code number so could check your payslip had the new code on it.0 -

But income levels may have changed later in the year and a D0 code might have become more appropriate. Or BR and an adjustment to the main tax code. But if there wasn't a later review of the codes then the BR code could have continued for the remainder of the tax year.0 -
