| HMRC have updated their
guidance on the issue of multiple or
incorrect PAYE tax codes to some employees
following the introduction of their new
National Insurance and PAYE computer
system. HMRC have admitted that the
changeover to the new system has brought
to light some discrepancies in their
records which have resulted in some
incorrect coding notices being issued.
HMRC advise that three main situations
may result in incorrect coding notices.
Their updated guidance states that:
- a previous employment stopped some
time ago but HMRC's system has not
picked this up and a Coding Notice has
been sent for that employment
- two notices have been sent for the
same employment
- the code BR (basic tax) or DO
(higher rate tax) has been given for an
employment or pension for the first
time.
HMRC advise that they will try to
correct as many of these discrepancies as
possible well in advance of the new tax
year.
Please do get in touch if you would
like us to check your tax code.
