My personal allowance was increased from £12,570 to £13,110 because of a private pension I contribute to. The higher allowance is shown on my P60 and PAYE record, however, on my calculation for tax due on property income, only the lower amount of £12,570 is displayed therefore resulting in a slightly higher tax liability. Would I be correct to query this. I think the calculation should be using the higher allowance, or am I mis-understanding.

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to check individual tax records through this forum, if you have a question which relates to your personal tax situation or tax code please contact our helpline:  
Income Tax: general enquiries
On this page you will also see a link to Personal tax account: sign in or set up which may be the quickest way to review information relating to pay and tax history, tax codes and how to change them. 
Thank you

Not HMRC...in the HMRC calculation personal allowance is never increased by pension contributions, any additional higher rate relief is given by extending the basic rate band...this would ordinarily be £37700 plus the amount paid to pension, so if more than £37700 then the difference should be the pension contribution...if it hasnt been extended then you need to speak to HMRC.
