Tax Code Chaos
Thursday, February 25th, 2010HMRC’s new IT system is continuing to generate widespread 2010/11 PAYE code errors. We have already received multiple Notices of Coding for the same client, in the same envelope. It is going to take some time for them to resolve the situation and it is possible that the errors will not be corrected in time for the start of the new tax year. HMRC’s advice if you think there is a problem with your tax code is as follows:
‘You should check your tax code using the guidance included with the Coding Notice and on our website. If you think that it may be incorrect or if you do not understand an entry on it, please telephone us on the number printed on your Coding Notice or 0845 3000 627 so we can make sure you have the right tax code applied in time for the beginning of the new tax year.’
