Either way, overcharging isnt always down to HMRC if thats what you were trying to imply with that 
Im in half a mind to post this since I dont think it will actually carry much weight with anyone despite it being the way it is.  |
No I'm with you Lynw.... emergency tax code BR for three years, someone in payroll should have checked that. BR is short term till you code is sorted. Have had to operate my own PAYE (small scale) myself, so know it's down to the company that collects it on HMRC's behalf.
Hence I ALWAYS check mine now I'm working for someone else again.
