How does tax adjustment work?
Discussion
I'm sure this is a fairly simple one, but possibly not...
I get lump sums each 3 months which obviously fool HMRC into thinking my basic wage is higher than it actually is. How can I work out the adjustment I should get back the following month (I think that is how it works?)
For example this month I seem to have taken only 62% of my total pay after deductions (just tax and NI, nothing else)...

M1 means you are being taxed on a Month 1 basis.
Have you been in this current employment since 6 April 2014?
Will you be in this current employment up to and including 5 April 2015?
If you are in the same employment from the beginning of a tax year up to the end of the tax year. being on a Month 1 basis does not really matter. However, if you joined during the tax year or leave before the end of the tax year, you might end up paying too much tax.
If your salary exceeds £100,000 by the end of the tax year, you will not be entitled to the full personal tax allowance of £10,000. A person earning over £100,000 loses 50p of allowance for every £1 over £100,000. This means that by the time they get to a salary of £120,000 all their allowances will have been wiped out.
If a person has an indeterminate gross salary (because of bonuses , for example), this could very well mean that a code of 1000L is too generous and the person will have paid too LITTLE tax.
You really need to review your situation as soon as you get your P60 sometime after 5 April 2015./

I started here early May and will be here for the rest of this tax year for sure. So when I get my p60 would you say I look into it as I joined 1 month into the tax year, I won't exceed £100k, might get close but not over based on the next 3 months.
Certainly review the situation when you get your P60. Basically, calculate the overall tax liability arising on your final salary amount as shown on the P60. Then compare the tax you have calculated with the tax deducted shown on the P60. If they are within a few £s of each other - then you are fine. If not, you may need to contact HMRC.
Do you receive any taxable Benefits in Kind?
Do you pay into a company pension?
Do you have income outside of your employment - such as interest or dividends?
Do you make charitable donations?
