Also, tax is what the COMPANY calculates, collects and pays and again HMRC can only go with what is declared to them by your employer.

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.

well i suppose if anyone is to blame its me. but when i started this job, i had just separated from my hubby and was in receipt of tax credits, I just assumed the tax code was something to do with that. Only queried yesterday when I found out other girls in the school paid £15, £21 and £32 a month tax compared to my £169 lol hardly surprising I have been skint.

big ape - hopefully be at annual run, had booked camp site, then cancelled, depending on sitters I will book again lol

kitkat, not your fault - someone in payroll should have checked tbh.

I was just trying to square up with Bigape its not ALWAYS HMRCs fault

I'm still waiting on my p60, I know I'm owed just over £500, but my work's head office isn't responding to my letters and the phone number is diverted to india call centre now, so phoning up is useless trying to get someone to speak 2 anyone who can help. Spoke to my manager, but she doesn't understand how the tax works and the site is going through a transfer of company ownership etc, so everything is all over the place. what to do?

well the lady at the tax place was lovely and very helpful try them
