PAYE codes 2011-12

March 22nd, 2011

Firstly, be aware that HMRC has, as a cost saving, ceased sending copy PAYE codes to agents. So your agent won’t know that there is something wrong with your code unless you tell them.

Secondly HMRC is fond of including adjustments to your tax code to cover almost any kind of expected income to save them the trouble of collecting the taxz after the year-end Self-Assessment return is submitted.

HMRC can include almost any type of adjustment in your code but you are not obliged to accept them unless they relate to your earnings or pensions received. So ask HMRC to remove any you do not agree with.
