Employee Tax Question

[eightseventhree]

I am a employee on a standard BACS PAYE system.


This past tax year i have been paying a tax bill from a mistake (under payment) from my old company car (which i no longer have) of about £800.

I was also in the last 12 months paying for a Cycle to work bike which will have altered my tax code.

Now this new tax year these should be payed off etc

will my tax code return to normal or will i have to chase ect?

You should already know what your 2009/10 tax code is going to be. HMRC have been sending them out to employees since February.

I haven't had any communication from my employer about this. My code on my pay slips is the same as it has been for the past 12 moths

The details of your tax code do not come from your employer. They come to you directly from HM Revenue and Customs. If you are unsure about the accuracy of your coding, you should telephone the tax office using the telephone number shown on any Notice of Tax Coding you may have in your possession.
If you have all your tax refernce numbers to hand, the Revenue ashould be able to find your details on their system and explain the coding situation to you. If you think it is wrong, tell them over the phone WHY you think it is wrong and they should be able to tell you if you are correct in your assumptions.
