is my tax code wrong?
Discussion
You should have received a coding notice explaining why you are receiving a lower allowance than standard.
Most likely culprits in my experience are things like medical cover and glasses. Have you had any benefit like this in 2010 tax year?
Of course, it is not beyond the HMRC to make a mistake. I would say give them a call to see what the reduction is for.

no, not had any form of benefit whatsoever. student loan paid off years ago and pension contributions all up to date. bit of a mystery tbh. i've emailed council head office (who deal with my salary) so we'll have to see. completely baffled by it.Most likely culprits in my experience are things like medical cover and glasses.

"Mr ********
You are correct that the normal tax code should be 747L. I have looked
back through your tax codes over the years and it would appear that your
code was originally operated from your P45 in 2003. Subsequently the
budget increases have been applied each year. I would suggest contacting
the Tax office, to check whether this code is correct, the phone number is
Year Your Code Standard Code
03/04 453L 461L
04/05 466L 474L
05/06 481L 489L
06/07 495L 503L
07/08 514L 522L
08/09 595L 603L
09/10 639L 647L
10/11 739L 747L
I hope this information will be of use to you.
