Tax Code Change ...

Post by RedBagMan »

... got a letter from HMRC advising of a change to my tax code (from 647L to 659L) - Note 2 on the letter said:

"HM Revenue & Customs has agreed with the union that £120 is the amount you are likely to have to pay out for doing this job".

Can anyone advise how this is worked out ? Can't complain too much I guess as today's pay slip (yes one day late !) included a £132 tax refund - just interested to know how this £120 figure was calculated by the union ...
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

Uniform cleaning.We all get it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

It goes back a few years,you could get a few years worth,see what HR say then you may have to contact your tax office for more backdate.
But HR should know and they should also know how long it's been going on for,i can't rem the exact year it all changed.

Can anyone confirm if this applies to part-timers too?

I was recently hit for a tax code reduction, after HMRC tried to make out that my redundancy pay from my last job needed some tax clawing back. Within seconds of my phonecall to HMRC and saying that I received Statutory Redundancy Pay which has tax deductions at source, the error was admitted and my code was reverted back to 647L. However, four weeks on and having received a letter from HMRC confirming my tax code revertion to 647L ten days ago, yet another week's pay was set at 0588L!

Now if I can claim this 659L and also get this backdated cleaning allowance to a year ago today when I started, this could be a nice "Brucey bonus" before Xmas! :dance

Part time,full time,whatever time the code is the same...
For those eligible for the basic Personal Allowance - 647L for the 2010-11 tax year.
Add on the uniform bit and you get 659L
Those who do not have the above code,it is wrong...

RBM - You may not get a rebate, they may just adjust your tax code for a while. That happened to me :arrrghhh
