I'm an Xmas casual with a tax issue!

I'm self-employed and this Royal Mail Christmas Casual position is my second job.

I was taxed with my first pay slip. I contacted HMRC who passed on a new tax code to Royal Mail. HMRC told me I would be refunded the tax on my second slip and wouldn't pay it again. Guess what, I was not refunded and I'm still being taxed.

I contacted HMRC again and they told me it might take ten days for the new tax code to take effect, and suggested I contact Royal Mail.

The only way for me to contact Royal Mail about this issue is through an email address which only appears to reply with a meaningless automated response.

Who can I speak to or contact to sort this out?

Many thanks for your help.

Just to be sure, if you earn 10k minimum from your first job then any secondary work you do for angard/royal mail will get taxed at 20% wont it?

I have the same issue. I got paid last friday and got deducted £40. I did send the welcome back pack but i didnt receive it until late.

Did you manage to sort it, did you get your tax back?

Ive emailed royal mail but had no reply
