September Tax Rebates (ex-10% band) - Higher Rate

Yes. Your tax code should have gone up by 60 since last month. In addition the HRT band should have been adjusted so that HRT is due on annual income after allowances of 34800 instead of 36000.

They are wrong. You are right.

Has anything else changed? Is your income the same every month?

Perhaps your Coding has changed at the same time, for a different reason, some other adjustment, BIK perhaps or a previous year's underpayment adjusted.

Unless the employer's software is wrong (unlikely) then in your situation there should be a 'nil' effect, so something else has changed.

I thank you...

Nope. My pay isn't always the same but it was the same as last month so it makes the comparison far easier and obvious...

It looks like now they are 're-confirming' their position after I persisted... I predict an embarrassing company-wide mail will be sent in the next day or two admitting some people have been 'undertaxed' and expect their pay-packet next month to be without 'windfall'...!

Cheers, Justin.

As mentioned in the same thread in uk.business.payroll, I suspect the payroll s/ware hasn't been updated - hence the embedded bands are wrong, but the codes have been updated.

The OP now reports that his employer is backing off somewhat...!

Yup, I suspect they've missed the band updates...

And I hope they like the taste of humble pie! But never upset Personnel ;-)

Justin.
