Mistake by payroll department with Tax Code
Comments

Have they logged in to their personal hmrc account?
Their tax code will be on their.
Payroll's response indicates they've had an update from hmrc that makes the tax code 32L. Some / most payroll systems now get automatic updates of tax codes from HMRC.0 -

Some / most payroll systems now get automatic updates of tax codes from HMRC.Latest news is that payroll has finally listened to what has been explained to them. Apparently they have told my friend that they are raising an F1(or F2) with the tax office. Does anyone know what that means?0 -
Wires slightly crossed unfortunately. Payroll still don’t appear to understand that they’ve used the Tax Code issued by HMRC wrongly. All they’re doing is checking P6 and P9 notices.
i think my friend is going to have to contact HMRC and ask for a cumulative code to sort the mess.0 -
Hello, totally appreciate the cash flow issue, but your friend should rest assured that any over deducted tax should come back to her automatically: https://www.litrg.org.uk/tax-nic/how-tax-collected/pay-you-earn-paye/paye-end-tax-year#2
If for whatever reason, there is an underpayment due to this issue, then you may find our guidance on 'employer error' helpful: https://www.litrg.org.uk/tax-nic/how-tax-collected/pay-you-earn-paye/paye-underpayments#7“Official Company Representative

Not sure why they are looking at the P9 (I am assuming they mean the P9X) which only has any relevance at the start of the tax year.0 -

As you say the problem is that even using it correctly from now on won’t fix the problem. She’s going to phone HMRC tomorrow morning.0 -
