HMRC Tax code changes
Permalink Closed


I have a client that has two employees that have been made redundant from their main job.

The client has 24 employees and most of them are on the BR code.

These two are not paid very much - one gets £120 every four weeks (£30/wk) and the other £240 every four weeks (£60/wk). They are taxed at BR with this second (and now only) employer. They are experiencing delays in getting their tax code changed.

Is it a complete "no-no" for them to end their employment and then tick box B on the starter checklist to start employment again as a cheeky way round this HMRC delay?

I've been asked a couple of times about their code and I've said I can't do anything with an existing employee with HMRC telling me.

I hope you have heard the stories of how HMRC issue P800 assessments to taxpayers showing sizeable underpayments on tax. This problem has occurred because the wrong tax code has been used.

Don't try and be too clever by trying that!

It's ok - I'm not now.

I made the suggestion to the client (and my reluctance) and they don't want to do it now either.

I was actually looking for someone to back me up in not doing this - so thanks. I'll go off and read this link now.

That was quick - I'll post that to the client as well.

Thanks.

Hi Peasie,

I think it would be best if the employee phoned HMRC and told them they think their tax code is now incorrect and could they issue a new one. They actually seem pretty good at getting that done.

Both of them have tried that and nothing appears to getting done hence this new tactic I am now NOT doing.

That surprises me, well you can't call hmrc on their behalf so they need to keep calling until it's sorted....
