PAYE Tax Code Changes 2015-2016

Hi

Hoping someone can help?

I am just setting up payroll for a new client, all employees have differing tax codes 888L, 703L, 984L, 1000L as at 31.3.15

I know I have to add 60 to each of the codes for the start of 2015-2016, but was wondering are K codes treated the same?

One employee has a tax code of K204 do I add 60 to a K code as I would all other codes?


Many thanks for any help given

Hi Donna,

 

I didn't know the answetr to your question but it made my curious so I looked on the HMRC website. They said the following:

 

Tax codes with the letter ‘K’

The letter K is used in an employee’s tax code when deductions due for company benefits, state pension or tax owed from previous years are greater than their personal allowance.

Multiply the number in their tax code by 10 to show how much should be added to their taxable income before deductions are calculated.

Example An employee with tax code K475 and a salary of £27,000 has taxable income of £31,750 (£27,000 plus £4,750).

The tax deduction for each pay period can’t be more than half an employee’s pre-tax pay or pension.

 

Thankfully I haven't got any of these with any of my clients but hopefully the above will help you.

Regards

Alex

Hi Donna

Only the L codes are increased by 60. K codes are left alone.

Debbie
